Li loss and cation mixing are two highly probable phenomena during high-temperature calcination of Ni-based layered cathode materials for Li-ion batteries, leading to the formation of a cation-disordered rock salt phase on the surface of cathode particles. The rock salt phase, which is made of divalent transition metal oxides, is vulnerable to reaction with the liquid electrolyte and requires a surface coating to suppress transition metal dissolution and to enhance cycling stability. In this study, a layered LiNi0.5Mn0.3Co0.2O2 (NMC532) cathode material with a cation-disordered rock salt phase on its surface is surface-modified via H3PO4 treatment. A uniform coating layer is formed on the surface of NMC particles after calcination at 375 or 475 °C. However, impedance measurements along with the analysis of distribution of relaxation times (DRT) depicted that the higher calcination temperature led to a more stable and less reactive coating layer in contact with the electrolyte, as it exhibited lower cathode–electrolyte interphase (CEI) layer resistance. Additionally, the coating layer formed at 475 °C increases the capacity retention of the pristine NMC by 10.3 and 19.4% after 100 cycles at room temperature and 50 °C, respectively. Besides, the coating layer successfully enhanced the rate capability of the NMC electrode, which is attributed to the suppression of transition metal dissolution, providing a lower charge transfer resistance compared to the pristine NMC.

“…On the other hand, compared to other lithium battery types, the LPO has a lower voltage and, therefore, less energy. Lithium nickel cobalt aluminum oxide (LiNiCoAlO2) -NCA Lithium nickel cobalt aluminum oxide is a cathode material used in lithium-ion batteries that provide highly thermally stable, long lifecycle, good specific power, and high specific energy device (Table 5) [42,61]. Aluminum doping stabilizes the thermal and charge transfer resistance of lithiumnickel cobalt oxide.…”

The birth of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) is not a breakthrough scientific discovery overnight but a successor and continuous development of scientists for a long time based on the previous generation of electrochemical batteries. The development of LIBs and succeeding generations of batteries, however, is highly hopeful given the broad commercialization of LIBs during the previous ten years. Intensified research is required to create next-generation LIBs with drastically better performance, including enhanced energy density, charging rate, lifespan, stability, and safety, in order to fulfill the rising demand for energy storage. Research into LIBs and next-generation is currently in an explosive phase with the goal of overcoming the significant challenge posed by conventional LIBs that can keep up with the rapidly evolving needs of the electronics, mechanical, and automation industries, particularly electric vehicles. In this case, this tutorial review might offer a broad overview of LIBs as well as an optimistic look toward the upcoming generation.

“…In the last couple of decades, various methods including coprecipitation, sol−gel, hydrothermal, spray pyrolysis, solidstate, and combustion have been adopted to synthesize Ni-rich NMC cathode materials. 8 Among the mentioned methods, the coprecipitation method is extensively utilized and was proven to be effective because the precursors prepared via coprecipitation can give a narrow size distribution with high tap density, which results in outstanding electrochemical performance. Hydroxide coprecipitation is the most popular coprecipitation method for preparing NMC cathode materials.…”

This study aims to develop a novel efficient process for the synthesis of a nickel-rich LiNi0.6Mn0.2Co0.2O2 cathode material for lithium-ion batteries utilizing supercritical CO2. In this work, the effect of operating parameters including the amount of chelating agent, coprecipitation temperature, and sintering temperature on the composition, structure, and electrochemical performance of Ni0.6Mn0.2Co0.2CO3 precursors and LiNi0.6Mn0.2Co0.2O2 cathode materials is investigated through systematic characterization and electrochemical testing. When using 1.5 M NH4OH at 60 °C for 8 h followed by sintering at 850 °C for 12 h in air, the LiNi0.6Mn0.2Co0.2O2 cathode material delivers an initial discharge capacity of 176.3 mAh g–1 at 60 mA g–1 with a capacity retention of 94.9% after 50 cycles. This work demonstrates the application of carbon capture and utilization for battery material synthesis with the advantages of no caustic precipitating agent, no impurity introduction, and good electrochemical performance compared with a conventional carbonate coprecipitation process.
