“…With respectt ot he overall cycling stability,t he comparisono ft he corresponding potential profiles (Figure 8b)i ndicatest hat the more pronounced decrease in capacity for CMC and PA-CMC largely originates from as hortening of the voltage plateau associated with the nickel redox reaction (see also Figures S5 and S6), indicating that this fading is associated either with the loss of active material (i.e.,the loss of electronic contact) or ap artial activem aterial degradation, for example, as ar esult of the Ni 2 + dissolution into the electrolyte. Notably,t he performance at elevated Cr ates, particularly for dis-/charge rates of 2C and higher, follows the order CA-CMC < CMC < PA-CMC,r evealing ab eneficial impact of the thin phosphate coating on the charget rans-fer across the electrode/electrolytei nterface, [53,[57][58][59] whereas the cross-linked binder apparently hampers the lithium ion de-/insertion, as also evidentf rom the relatively more pronounced IR drop and internal polarization for CMC and even more pronounced for CA-CMC compared to PA-CMC (Figure 9b). 87.24 %a nd 98.67 < 98.87 < 98.94 %, for the first and the following cycles, respectively).…”
