“…Therefore, many researchers have been extensively studying alternatives to LiCoO 2 . Among all of the candidates, Li[Ni 1/3 Co 1/3 Mn 1/3 ] O 2 is proposed as a promising material to replace LiCoO 2 [3][4][5][6] due to its higher reversible capacity, good cycling performance, and structural stability. However, the lower the tap density of these layered compounds, the poorer is the rate capability.…”
