Implications of cation-disordered grain boundaries on the electrochemical performance of the LiNi 0.5 Co 0.2 Mn 0.3 O 2 cathode material for lithium ion batteries

The electrochemical properties of Li(Ni x Co y Mn z )O ₂ (NCM) materials are decisively determined by the interplay of combined disordering of cations and the relevant chemical/electronic changes.
