Abstract:
Ni-rich ternary positive materials have become one of the most preferred cathode materials for application in power lithium-ion batteries owing to their high energy density. However, these cathode materials suffer from inferior cycling performance and poor rate capability, seriously impeding their practical application to scale. The single crystallization of ternary materials can effectively mitigate the generation of particle cracking and improve the cycling stability of Ni-rich cathode materials. At the same time, high-valence cationic doping can effectively improve the transmission rate of lithium ions, and the charge-discharge performance of high-nickel ternary materials. In this paper, nickel-rich single crystal LiNi
