Many scientists have focused on the problem of improving the electrochemical performance (spe cific capacity, electrical conductivity, stability, and other characteristics) of cathode materials for lithium ion batteries. Nanostructuring and the use of cathode nanomaterials offer an effective solution to this problem. Here, we describe a new method of producing cathode materials for lithium ion batteries using nanoparticles with the composition Li 1.2 Ni 0.2 Mn 0.4 Co 0.2 O 2 /C, in which the mixed oxides have the form of core/shell nano particles (<100 nm in size) and a carbon layer serves as a shell, which increases the conductivity of the elec trode material and improves its stability.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
