Improved electrochemical properties of LiNi0.91Co0.06Mn0.03O2 cathode material via Li-reactive coating with metal phosphates

Abstract Ni-rich layered oxides are promising cathode materials due to their high capacities. However, their synthesis process retains a large amount of Li residue on the surface, which is a main source of gas generation during operation of the battery. In this study, combined with simulation and ex...
