Lithium manganese oxide (LMO) is mainly used in electric bicycles and low-speed electric vehicles, small motive power (power tools etc.), digital electronic products, and energy storage sectors. LMO can also be blended into ternary materials. In recent years, LMO has seen wide applications in electric bicycles and low-speed electric vehicles. The project is an important step taken by the company in the manganese-based new energy battery material industry, which will further enhance the company's competitiveness.
