Coating - A potent method to enhance electrochemical performance of Li(NixMnyCoz)O2 cathodes for Li-ion batteries

Leon Shaw; Maziar Ashuri

Volume 10, Issue 6 , June 2019, Pages 369-380

https://doi.org/10.5185/amlett.2019.2256

Abstract
  Layered lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxides, Li(NixMnyCoz)O2 where x + y + z = 1 (NMCs), have been studied extensively due to their higher capacity, less toxicity and lower cost compared to LiCoO2. However, widespread market penetration of NMCs as cathodes for Li-ion batteries (LIBs) is impeded by ...  Read More
