Nickel-rich layered oxides such as lithium nickel cobalt manganese oxide (NCM) are considered a suitable cathode material for high-energy lithium-ion batteries. However, the high nickel content leads to material stress, making it necessary to coat the cathodes. In a recent study, scientists from MEET Battery Research Center and the Institute of Materials Physics at the University of Münster have now investigated how this modification can be greatly simplified.
