The three lithium-ion battery projects include an effort by 3M Company to develop advanced materials for negative electrodes, or anodes, while BASF Catalyst LLC will develop an industrial process for the production of low-cost positive electrodes, or cathodes. FMC Corporation's project will also relate to cathodes, as the company will scale up its production of stabilized lithium metal powders, which can be used to produce cathodes.
