An effective tellurium surface modification strategy to enhance the capacity and rate capability of Ni-rich LiNiCoMnO cathode material.

LiNiCoMnO (NCM) layered oxide is contemplated as an auspicious cathode candidate for commercialized lithium-ion batteries. Regardless, the successful commercial utilization of these materials is impeded by technical issues like structural degradation and poor cyclability. Elemental doping is among the most viable strategies for enhancing electrochemical performance.
