Status and Development of Power Lithium‐Ion Battery and Its Key Materials

Benchmarking the electrochemical parameters of the LiNi0.8Mn0.1Co0.1O2 positive electrode material for Li-ion batteries

“…Nowadays the industry turns towards mass production of the battery cells based on the cathode with even higher Ni content, NMC811, with the reversible electrochemical capacity of ∼200 mAh/g and the energy density approaching 750 Wh/kg, allowing for the energy density at the cell level of 300 Wh/kg [ 2 ]. Although the market is still occupied by the materials of the second and third generations, the share of NMC811 increases drastically within last few years, predominantly at the cost of NMC532 [ 4 ]. This makes NMC811 one of the primary targets for the material science R&D activity related to Li-ion batteries.…”
