Lithium layered cathode materials, such as LCO, LMO, LFP, NCA, and NMC, find application in Li-ion batteries. Among these, LCO, LMO, and LFP are the most widely employed cathode materials, along with various other lithium-layered metal oxides (Heidari and Mahdavi, 2019, Zhang et al., 2014).
Since the rapid development of Li (Na) ion batteries, increasing the electrochemical performance of the cathode material is the most urgent task. The basic characteristics, advantages, and disadvantages of typical cathode materials are summarized in Table 1 .
Cathode active materials (CAM) are typically composed of metal oxides. The most common cathode materials used in lithium-ion batteries include lithium cobalt oxide (LiCoO2), lithium manganese oxide (LiMn2O4), lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4 or LFP), and lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxide (LiNiMnCoO2 or NMC).
Spinel-structured LNMO (Lithium nickel manganese oxide) based cathodes are known to be one of the suited cathodes for the Li-ion batteries, but these materials are also criticized due to the poor rate performance as a result of lesser structure stability.
The cathode, on the other hand, is made from lithium transition metal oxides (like LiMO 2, where M can be cobalt, nickel, or manganese) or lithium transition metal phosphates (like LiFePO 4) . These cathode materials have a higher positive redox potential and serve as “hosts” for the Li + ions as well.
The cathode is the positive electrode of the battery. It is typically made of a material such as lithium cobalt oxide or lithium iron phosphate. During discharge, lithium ions move from the anode to the cathode . The separator is a thin, porous membrane that separates the anode and cathode.
