Lithium nickelate electrodes with enhanced high-temperature performance and thermal stability
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors introduced cobalt, manganese, and titanium as partial substituents for nickel and found doubly substituted nickelate LiNi0.8Co0.1Ti0.2O2 to be the most promising in terms of large capacity, enhanced high-temperature performance, and improved thermal stability.
