RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:Tesla and Jeff Dahmen - Patents for Single Crystal CAMGood grief…You should go please request @patriotnano to give you a lesson in material science...
“Single crystal cathode material is made by manipulating the process technology at the precursor level to develop the single crystals. That precursor is used to yield single crystal cathode material for battery cells.”
Nano One skips the pCAM step but that doesn’t mean that everyone else does.
Tesla/Jeff Dahn didn’t skip the pCAM step in their patent but that does not make it right or wrong. That’s just the way they went about making their single crystal cathode material. I trust Nano One One Pot process is superior. But to claim Tesla and Jeff/Dahn have not patented a process to make single crystal cathode materials is simply ignorant at best.
If you are struggling with this concept, perhaps that is a sign you are in over your head and should refrain from engaging in this branch of material science.
But here is some light reading if you care to educate yourself:
