Niobium Precursors for Battery Applications(TANIOBIS)

Application Example

  • Coating materials, e.g. for niobium based coating of cathodes for solid state batteries
  • Doping of cathode active materials and solid electrolytes
  • Mixed oxide anode materials:
    • Niobium titanium oxide
    • Niobium tungsten oxide

Portfolio and Advantages

Jet-milled Niobium Pentoxides

  • Fine particle size:
    improved blending with other powders
  • Ceramic grade:
    high surface area >5m2/g,
    99.9%purity,
    D50 <0,7μm
  • SPT Grade: high purity of (99.995%), D50 <1.3μm

Nb2O5 3N Ceramic Grade

Niobium Oxihydrates

  • 30-60% water content (Nb2O5・xH2O or Nb(OH)5・yH2O)
  • Non-calcined, highly reactive Nb precursors
  • Low temperature treatment results in amorphous phase
  • High surface area, easily dispersible in water

Niobium Oxihydrate

Niobium Ethoxide

  • Suitable for solvent-based coating solutions
  • Co-solution with other ethoxides (i.e. Li-ethoxide) possible
  • Forms very thin layers of amorphous Nb2O5 / LiNbO3 after drying/hydrolysis;
  • Well-established for Cathode Active Material-coatings for all solid state Li Ion Batteries (LIB)
