Crystal Habit‐Tuned Nanoplate Material of Li[Li_{1/3–2<i>x</i>/3}Ni_xMn_{2/3<i>–x</i>/3}]O₂ for High‐Rate Performance Lithium‐Ion Batteries

Abstract

A cathode for high-rate performance lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) has been developed from a crystal habit-tuned nanoplate Li(Li(0.17)Ni(0.25)Mn(0.58))O₂ material, in which the proportion of (010) nanoplates (see figure) has been significantly increased. The results demonstrate that the fraction of the surface that is electrochemically active for Li(+) transportation is a key criterion for evaluating the different nanostructures of potential LIB materials.
