Battery Materials as a Service
Sustainable, Competitive and High-Quality Canadian Precursor Cathode Active Materials (pCAM)
WHO WE ARE
Delivering High-Quality Precursor Cathode Active Materials to Support North America's EV Battery Supply Chain
Positive Materials is advancing Project Positive+, an initiative to build a state of the art, high-quality precursor cathode active material (pCAM) production facility in Canada that is environmentally, economically, and socially sustainable.
WHAT IS PCAM?
Precursor cathode active material (pCAM) is a fine, crystalline powder composed of electrochemically active metal hydroxides such as Nickel, Cobalt, Manganese and Aluminum. It is the precursor material of the cathode, the most valuable component of a lithium-ion battery.
Lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries are the principal type of rechargeable battery used in electric vehicles, portable electronics, and renewable energy storage systems. They are the foundation of the green energy transition – without lithium-ion batteries, the world cannot transition away from fossil fuels.
