The cathode designed for ultra-fast charging.
OMI's proprietary LnFP cathode platform uses a reinforced spherical nano-structure engineered to create efficient lithium-ion transport pathways, reduce impedance and maintain electrochemical stability at charge rates that degrade conventional chemistries.
Commercialization strategy: OMI is currently in discussions with cell manufacturers regarding licensing of this patented technology for integration into existing cell-production platforms.

Engineered to shorten lithium-ion transport paths.
LnFP's reinforced spherical cathode particles are designed to maximize active surface area and minimize ion-diffusion distance. OMI states that this architecture improves lithium-ion transport kinetics and helps maintain structural stability during repeated high-rate charging.
Performance where conventional cathodes begin to degrade.
OMI's current public materials state that most commercial cathode chemistries begin to degrade above approximately 3–5C, while LnFP has demonstrated stable operation through 20C.
Fast charging without nickel or cobalt dependence.
LnFP is based on abundant iron and manganese. OMI positions the chemistry as a way to reduce exposure to nickel and cobalt supply chains while maintaining strong thermal stability and long cycle life.
The objective is to improve the chemistry without forcing a new factory.
OMI has stated that LnFP was engineered to fit into existing cell-manufacturing systems, reducing the adoption barrier for established cell manufacturers. The commercial model under discussion includes licensing the patented cathode technology to cell producers rather than requiring OMI to manufacture every finished cell itself.
