Hierarchical porous LiNi_1/3Co_1/3Mn_1/3O₂ with yolk–shell-like architecture as stable cathode material for lithium-ion batteries

The relatively sluggish lithium ion diffusion of LiNi1/3Co1/3Mn1/3O2 (NCM) is one of the fatal factors which can significantly prevent its widespread usage in high-power applications. In this work, the monodispersed hierarchical porous yolk-shell-like LiNi1/3Co1/3Mn1/3O2 (YS-NCM) with exposure to {010} electrochemical active facets was successfully synthesized, aiming to elevate the lithium ion diffusion ability and thus to enhance the...
