Abstract Deciphering the sophisticated interplay between thermodynamics and kinetics of high‐temperature lithiation reaction is fundamentally significant for designing preparing cathode materials. Here, formation pathway Ni‐rich layered ordered LiNi 0.6 Co 0.2 Mn O 2 (O‐LNCM622O) carefully characterized using in situ synchrotron radiation diffraction. A fast nonequilibrium phase transition from reactants to a metastable disordered Li 1− x (Ni ) 1+ (D‐LNCM622O, 0 < 0.95) takes place while...
LiNixCoyMn1-x-yO2 (NCM) intercalation compounds with core-shell architecture have been found to be promising cathode candidates for next-generation lithium-ion battery applications. The NCM cathodes' functional properties are dependent on the transition metal relative ratios, making it a challenge control real structure of materials and understand synergistic effect core shell during electrochemical cycling. Herein, universal facile synthetic strategy is developed synthesize material...
Abstract One of the major challenges facing application layered LiNiO 2 (LNO) cathode materials is oxygen release upon electrochemical cycling. Here it shown that tailoring provided lithium content during synthesis process can create a disordered Li 1‐ x Ni 1+ O phase at primary particle surface.

Abstract LiNi 0.5 Mn 1.5 O 4 (LNMO) is a promising cathode in lithium‐ion batteries (LIBs) due to its high operating voltage and open Li + diffusion framework. However, the instability of electrode–electrolyte interface negative environmental impact electrode fabrication processes limit practical application. Therefore, switching processing conditions aqueous understanding accompanying surface structural evolution are imperative. Here, water‐treated, poly(acrylic acid) (PAA)‐treated, H 3 PO...
Commercially available 18650 Li-ion batteries are considered for high-energy-density storage and usage in mobile applications as well to store energy from intermittent sources. This has triggered intense research suitable electrode electrolyte materials, while their current state-of-the-art, temperature-dependent performance is hardly described detail.

Normally, high temperatures are required for solid-state reactions to overcome energy barriers in the formation of lithium insertion materials. Consequently, conventional high-temperature lithiation very time- and energy-consuming often accompanied by undesirable side reactions. Thus, how synthesize Li-containing cathode materials with a desired structure under short reaction time low temperature is paramount significance.
