LnFP Next-Gen Fast Charging Cathode Technology

Pamela Díaz

April 14, 2026

The proprietary cathode material that charges an EV battery in 3 minutes, cobalt-free, nano-engineered, and production-validated. 

For decades, extreme fast charging and long battery life have been treated as mutually exclusive. OMI's LnFP cathode material challenges that assumption at the molecular level, and the data backs it up. 

What Is LnFP?

LnFP is OMI's proprietary active cathode material, nano-engineered from first principles. Its reinforced spherical particles create optimized pathways for lithium-ion transfer between cathode and anode — maximizing active surface area, minimizing diffusion distances, and enabling electrochemical stability at charge rates that degrade conventional chemistries. Most commercial cathodes begin to fail above 3–5C. LnFP sustains stable performance through 20C.

"When we saw stable performance at 20C — not just once, but consistently across cells — it became clear this wasn't a lab anomaly. This was real."

— Luis Garelli, CTO, OMI

Cobalt-Free by Design

Built on iron and manganese — two of the most abundant industrial materials on Earth — LnFP eliminates cobalt and nickel entirely. The result: lower material costs, reduced supply chain exposure, and a cleaner ESG profile, with no compromise to performance.

Built for Real-World Conditions

OMI validated LnFP beyond the lab — including harsh off-road environments — reflecting its history supplying Polaris Industries, Harley-Davidson, and Indian Motorcycle. The material operates from -20°C to 60°C, with no fire after nail penetration testing. U.S. production begins in 2027.

"Everything stated is real. We are ready."

— Nick White, CEO & Founder, OMI

Applications

LnFP's combination of ultra-fast charging, long cycle life, thermal safety, and cost scalability positions it across four high-growth sectors: electric vehicles, grid-scale energy storage, AI data center backup power, and industrial and aerospace electrification.
