“…Similarly, for lithium-ion batteries, spherically shaped positive material particles such as LiCoO 2 [13], LiMn 2 O 4 [14], Li(Ni 0.75 Co 0.25 )O 2 [15] and Li(Co 1/3 Ni 1/3 Mn 1/3 )O 2 [16,17], also show better cycleability and higher discharge capacities than those of individual particles. Additionally, the agglomerated spherical particles have much higher tap density, which is advantageous for the preparation of high-volumetric energy density electrodes.…”
