BASF Moving Along .......So because I am not certain how to fix that last copy and paste mess, the key takeaway for me in the base of this message was "BASF is one of the Licensed Suppliers of the US Department of Energy's (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory for ""Patented NCM Cathode Active Materials"", which employs a unique combination of Lithium and Maganese-Rich Mixed Metal Oxides".
So finally the Manganese is worthy of mention... "BASF and National Argonne Laboratory in 2010 received a "Deals Of Distinction " Award for this Worldwide Agreement awarded by the Licensing Executives Society (US and Canada).Inc., as they acknowledged this agreement's Significant Potential to improve the Environment and provide Economic Growth.
Perhaps it is Time for Manganese to Bloom???
