“…[9,10] The irreversible structural transformations of surface and bulk phase can reduce active-mass/lithium and increase the interface resistance. [11] To overcome the performance degradation of nickel-rich materials, several strategies including lattice doping (Na + , Mg 2 + , Al 3 + , Ti 4 + , Zr 4 + , Mo 6 + , W 6 + ), [12][13][14][15][16][17][18] surface coating (Graphene, ZrO 2 , CeO 2 , MoS 2 , LiZr (PO 4 ) 3 ), [19][20][21][22][23] and structure design [24,25] have been proposed and demonstrated. Among these approaches, fabricating a cation mixing pillar layer has recently been considered as a valid approach to obtain a stable surface structure.…”
