Nickel‐rich cathode materials are among the most promising cathode materials for high‐energy lithium‐ion batteries. However, their structural and thermodynamic stability, cycle and rate performances still need to be further improved. In this study, the rare earth element Ce is employed to reinforce the interface of Ni‐rich cathode materials both internally and externally. High‐valence Ce4+ can easily cause the oxidization of Ni2+ to Ni3+ when doped into the material owing to its strong oxidation performance, thus reducing Li+/Ni2+ mixing. In addition, the inert Ce3+ ions in transition metal slabs with strong Ce−O bonds can maintain the layered structure at high delithiation state. Furthermore, when the calcination temperature during synthesis is above 500 °C, a CeO2 coating layer will form, which can protect the electrode from erosion by the electrolyte and alleviate the increasing resistance during cycling. The modified Ni‐rich materials fabricated with an erosion‐resistant CeO2 layer outside and stronger Ce−O bonds inside with reduced Li+/Ni2+ mixing exhibit excellent electrochemical properties, especially at high operating voltages, for example, the 50th capacity retention at 0.2 C within 2.75–4.5 V is improved from 89.8 % to 99.2 % after the modification.

“…For many years, standard lithium-ion batteries have been able to retain only up to ca. 20% of their capacity at −30 • C, but recent optimization of the electrolyte composition enabled the enhancement of the low temperature performance of Li-ion batteries, which can retain up to 60% capacity at −30 • C, albeit with relatively low absolute capacities [13][14][15].…”
Nickel hydride batteries (Ni-MH) are known of their good performance and high reliability at temperatures below 0 °C, which is significantly dependent on electrolyte composition. Here we present the low temperature characteristics of pristine AB5-type alloy, LaMm-Ni4.1Al0.3Mn0.4Co0.45, determined in various alkali metal hydroxide solutions. We found that the combination of KOH with NaOH showed a significant effect of enhancement of low temperature performance of the electrode material and diffusion of hydrogen in the alloy. This 6M binary mixed NaOH/KOH electrolyte, comprising 4M KOH component and 2M NaOH component, made it possible to maintain 81.7% and 61.0% of maximum capacity at −20 °C and −30 °C, respectively, enhancing the hydrogen storage properties of the alloy after reheating to room temperature.
