Moscow: Russian experts at the State Atomic Energy Corporation Rosatom have developed an innovative technology to produce 'high-voltage modified lithium cobaltate,' a key cathode material for high-capacity batteries that significantly improves energy storage efficiency.

According to Oman News Agency, the new material boasts an advanced chemical composition and crystalline structure, allowing higher battery charging voltage and increasing energy capacity by more than 15 percent compared with conventional technologies. This advancement maintains stability during prolonged, repeated charge-discharge cycles.

The material is specifically designed for portable electronics, power tools, and advanced applications in aviation and aerospace, which demand high performance and long operating times without frequent recharging. Alexander Seleznev, Acting Director General of Rusatom Chemical, emphasized that the innovation is a strategic step toward localizing battery chemistry material production and reducing import dependence. Experimental models are currently undergoing certification and evaluation by commercial partners.

Through this initiative, Russia aims to complete the lithium product supply chain, covering everything from raw material extraction to final manufacturing and battery recycling.
