LiNi 0.85 Co 0.13 Al 0.02 O 2 (NCA) is attractive for high capacity but faces challenges like stability and thermal runaway. To address the issues, quasi-spherical nanoscaled LiTi 2 (PO 4 ) 3 (LTP), a fast ion conductor with a negative thermal expansion property, is synthesized and utilized to modify NCA. The effects of LTP on the performance and deformation of NCA are evaluated using multifarious methods. NCA modified with 7 wt % LTP exhibits the best performance, and its discharge capacities can retain 167.4 and 160.4 mAh g −1 at 25 and 60 °C after 100 cycles, respectively, much higher than those of NCA. Furthermore, the structural integrity and thermal stability of NCA are significantly improved, and the Li + diffusion coefficient is increased around 70.2%, while the strain and R ct are declined about 77.3% and 65.7%, respectively. LTP and carbon (LTP@C) in situ form a shell to cover NCA particles during cycles. The electrode reaction process, interface, and mechanism are discussed. It represents a strategy to update energy materials.
