Synthesis and evaluation of core/shell structured NMC cathode material

Cathode materials are the main elements of the Li-ion batteries and determine their key performing characteristics, including power and energy density values, cell voltage, capacity and cycle life. Up to date, Lithium-Nickel-Manganese-Cobalt-Oxide (socalled NMC) remains the most successful formulas for cathode powder, delivering strong overall performance and excellent specific energy. In this work, we describe an oxalate-assisted co-precipitation route for synthesis of core/shell structured NMC cathode particles
