Abstract
The ongoing advancements in lithium-ion battery technology are pivotal in propelling the performance of modern electronic devices and electric vehicles. Amongst various components, the cathode material significantly influences the battery performance, such as the specific capacity, capacity retention and the rate performance. Ternary cathode materials, composed of nickel, manganese, and cobalt (NCM), offer a balanced combination of these traits. Recent developments focus on elemental doping, which involves substituting a fraction of NCM constituent ions with alternative cations such as aluminum, titanium, or magnesium. This strategic substitution aims to enhance structural stability, increase capacity retention, and improve resistance to thermal runaway. Doped ternary materials have shown promising results, with improvements in cycle life and operational safety. However, the quest for optimal doping elements and concentrations persists to maximize performance while minimizing cost and environmental impact, ensuring the progression towards high-energy-density, durable, and safe battery technologies.

Abstract
The pursuit of high energy densities propels the design of next-generation nickel-based layered oxide cathodes. The utilization of low-cobalt, ultrahigh-nickel layered oxide cathodes, and the extension of operating voltages promise enhanced energy density. However, stability and safety face challenges associated with nickel content, including structural degradation, lattice oxygen evolution, and thermal instability. In this study, a promising strategy of Al and Nb dual-bulk-doping is presented in high-Ni cathode materials of LiNi0.96Co0.04O2 (NC) to stabilize the bulk structure, suppress oxygen release, and attain superior electrochemical performance at high voltages. The introduction of Al and Nb effectively raises the migration energy of Ni2+ into Li sites and stabilizes lattice oxygen through strengthened Al─O and Nb─O bonds. Furthermore, the substitution of high-valence Nb ions reduces the charge depletion of lattice oxygen and induces an ordered microstructure. The Al and Nb dual-bulk-doping strategy mitigates strain and stress associated with the H2↔H3 phase transition, reducing the generation and propagation of microcracks. The resulting Li(Ni0.96Co0.04)0.985Al0.01Nb0.005O2 (NCAN) cathode exhibits superior cycling stability, with a capacity retention of 77.8% after 300 cycles, even when operating at a high-voltage of 4.4 V, outperforming the NC (48.5%). This work provides a promising perspective for developing high-voltage and high-Ni cathode materials.

Abstract
Ferrous titanate (FeTiO3) has a high theoretical capacity and physical and chemical properties stability, so it is a potential lithium anode material. In this study, FeTiO3 nanopowder and nanosheets were prepared by the sol-gel method and the hydrothermal method. In addition, niobium-ion doping was carried out, the radius of Nb close to Ti so the Nb can easily enter into the FeTiO3 lattice. Nb can provide more free electrons to improve the electrochemical performance. Then, the effects of the morphology and niobium doping on the microstructure and electrochemical properties of FeTiO3 were systematically studied. The results show that FeTiO3 nanosheets have a better lithium storage performance than nanopowders because of its high specific surface area. A certain amount of niobium doping can improve the electrochemical performance of FeTiO3. Finally, a 1 mol% niobium-doping FeTiO3 nanosheets (1Nb-FTO-S) electrode provided a higher specific capacity of 782.1 mAh g-1 at 50 mA g-1. After 200 cycles, the specific capacity of the 1Nb-FTO-S electrode remained at 509.6 mAh g-1. It is revealed that an increased specific surface area and ion doping are effective means to change the performance of lithium, and the proposed method looks promising for the design of other inorganic oxide electrode materials.

Abstract
Single-crystalline cathodes are the most promising candidates for high-energy-density lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). Compared to their polycrystalline counterparts, single-crystalline cathodes have advantages over liquid-electrolyte-based LIBs in terms of cycle life, structural stability, thermal stability, safety, and storage but also have a potential application in solid-state LIBs. In this review, the development history and recent progress of single-crystalline cathodes are reviewed, focusing on properties, synthesis, challenges, solutions, and characterization. Synthesis of single-crystalline cathodes usually involves preparing precursors and subsequent calcination, which are summarized in the details. In the following sections, the development issues of single-crystalline cathodes, including kinetic limitations, interfacial side reactions, safety issues, reversible planar gliding and micro-cracking, and particle size distribution and agglomeration, are systematically analyzed, followed by current solutions and characterization techniques. Finally, this review is concluded with proposed research thrusts for the future development of single-crystalline cathodes.

Abstract
Lithium-rich manganese-based layered oxides (LLOs) are considered to be the most promising cathode materials for next-generation lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) for their higher reversible capacity, higher operating voltage, and lower cost compared with those of other commercially available cathode materials. However, irreversible lattice oxygen release and associated severe structural degradation that exacerbate under high temperature and deep delithiation hinder the large-scale application of LLOs. Herein, we propose a strategy to stabilize the layered lattice framework and improve the thermal stability of cobalt-free Li1.2Mn0.53Ni0.27O2 by doping with 4d transition metal niobium (Nb). Detailed atomic-scale imaging, in situ characterization, and DFT simulations confirm that the induced strong Nb-O bonds stabilize the oxygen lattice framework and restrains the fracture of TM-O bonds, thereby inhibiting the release of lattice oxygen and the continuous migration of TM ions to the lithium layer during the cycle. Furthermore, Nb doping also promotes the surface rearrangement to form a Ni-enrichment layered/rocksalt heterogeneous interface to enhance surface structural stability. As a result, the Nb-doped material delivers a capacity of 181.7 mAh g-1 with retention of 85.5% after 200 cycles at 1C, extraordinary thermal stability with a capacity retention of 80.7% after 200 cycles at 50 °C, and superior rate capability.

Abstract
Ni-rich layered oxide LiNi1 - x - yCoxMnyO2 (1 - x - y > 0.5) materials are favorable cathode materials in advanced Li-ion batteries for electromobility applications because of their high initial discharge capacity. However, they suffer from poor cycling stability because of the formation of cracks in their particles during operation. Here, we present improved structural stability, electrochemical performance, and thermal durability of LiNi0.85Co0.1Mn0.05O2(NCM85). The Nb-doped cathode material, Li(Ni0.85Co0.1Mn0.05)0.997Nb0.003O2, has enhanced cycling stability at different temperatures, outstanding capacity retention, improved performance at high discharge rates, and a better thermal stability compared to the undoped cathode material. The high electrochemical performance of the doped material is directly related to the structural stability of the cathode particles. We further propose that Nb-doping in NCM85 improves material stability because of partial reduction of the amount of Jahn-Teller active Ni3+ ions and formation of strong bonds between the dopant and the oxygen ions, based on density functional theory calculations. Structural studies of the cycled cathodes reveal that doping with niobium suppresses the formation of cracks during cycling, which are abundant in the undoped cycled material particles. The Nb-doped NCM85 cathode material also displayed superior thermal characteristics. The coherence between the improved electrochemical, structural, and thermal properties of the doped material is discussed and emphasized.

Effects of Graphene Nanosheets with Different Lateral Sizes as Conductive Additives on the Electrochemical Performance of LiNi 0.5Co 0.2Mn 0.3O 2 Cathode Materials for Li Ion Batteries.

Abstract
In this study, we focus on lateral size effects of graphene nanosheets as conductive additives for LiNi0.5Co0.2Mn0.3O2 (NCM) cathode materials for Li-ion batteries. We used two different lateral sizes of graphene, 13 (GN-13) and 28 µm (GN-28). It can be found that the larger sheet sizes of graphene nanosheets give a poorer rate capability. The electrochemical measurements indicate that GN-13 delivers an average capacity of 189.8 mAh/g at 0.1 C and 114.2 mAh/g at 2 C and GN-28 exhibits an average capacity of 179.4 mAh/g at 0.1 C and only 6 mAh/g at 2 C. Moreover, according to the results of alternating current (AC) impedance, it can be found that the GN-28 sample has much higher resistance than that of GN-13. The reason might be attributed to that GN-28 has a longer diffusion distance of ion transfer and the mismatch of particle size between NCM and GN-28. The corresponding characterization might provide important reference for Li-ion battery applications.

Abstract
PLA-1-Al2O3@LNCM synthesized using an efficient and facile plasma-enhanced method exhibits markedly improved capacity retention of 98.6% after 100 cycles, which is much larger than that of LNCM at 80% after 100 cycles. What is more, it also exhibits significantly enhanced cyclicity compared to that of 1-Al2O3@LNCM cathodes prepared using the normal solid state method, which further illustrates the efficiency and superiority of this plasma-enhanced method. More importantly, the rate performance of PLA-1-Al2O3@LNCM is improved because of the better electrolyte storage of the assembled hierarchical architecture of the Al2O3 coating layer according to unimpeded Li+ diffusion from electrode to electrolyte. When cycling at 55°C, the PLA-1-Al2O3@LNCM shows 93.6% capacity retention after 100 cycles, which is greatly enhanced due to the uniform Al2O3 layer. Further, growth of polarization impedance during cycling can be effectively suppressed by the Al2O3 layer, which can further confirm the effect the Al2O3 layer coated on the surface of the LNCM. The enhanced cycling performance and thermal stability illustrates that this facile surface modification, using the plasma-enhanced method, can form an effective structured coating layer, which indicates its prospects as an application in the modification of other electrode materials.

Abstract
A series of Li(Ni1/3Mn1/3Co1/3)1−xMxO2 (M = Al, Mg, Zn, and Fe, x = 0.06) was prepared via sol-gel method assisted by ethylene diamine tetra acetic acid as a chelating agent. A typical hexagonal α-NaFeO2 structure (R-3m space group) was observed for parent and doped samples as revealed by X-ray diffraction patterns. For all samples, hexagonally shaped nanoparticles were observed by scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. The local structure was characterized by infrared, Raman, and Mössbauer spectroscopy and 7Li nuclear magnetic resonance (Li-NMR). Cyclic voltammetry and galvanostatic charge-discharge tests showed that Mg and Al doping improved the electrochemical performance of LiNi1/3Mn1/3Co1/3O2 in terms of specific capacities and cyclability. In addition, while Al doping increases the initial capacity, Mg doping is the best choice as it improves cyclability for reasons discussed in this work.

Abstract
Electrophoretic deposition (EPD) has received increasing attention as an alternative manufacturing approach to slurry casting for the production of battery and supercapacitor electrodes. This process is of relevance for industrial scalability as evidently seen in the current electrophoretic paints industry. Nevertheless, the reported work so far have only concentrated on thin films of electrophoretically deposited electrodes for energy storage. Here, the electrochemical performance of thick films (up to tens of μm) as lithium-ion battery electrodes produced by EPD is reported. A commercially sourced LiN1/3M1/3C1/3O2 (5 to 25 μm particle size) was used in this exemplary investigation. This work shows the production of binder-free high density active material (>90 %) electrodes. Coin cells were assembled and the battery performance was measured. Tests included: cyclic voltammetry, C-rate vs capacity, battery cycling and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Other investigations also studied: colloidal electrolyte formulation, electrode manufacture, microstructure characterisation and elemental mapping analysis. In short, EPD electrode manufacture can be applied as a platform technology for any battery and supercapacitor material, and the reported manufacturing processes and methodologies represent direct relevance to produce energy storage electrodes useful to practical applications.
