“…A layered structure LiCoO 2 is used as a cathode active material in the LIB, due to the fact that LiCoO 2 has ease of preparation, high energy density, high operational voltage, and good cycleability. However, LiCoO 2 has high cost, toxicity, and low discharge capacity, so efforts are being made in attempts to find alternative materials [1,2]. Currently, these alternative materials, such as LiNiO 2 , LiMn 2 O 4 , LiN 1/3 Co 1/3 Mn 1/3 O 2 , and LiFePO 4 , and others are being researched and studied.…”
