Layered Li-Ni-Mn-Co oxide cathodes

Almost 30 years since the inception of lithium-ion batteries, lithium-nickel-manganese-cobalt oxides are becoming the favoured cathode type in automobile batteries. Their success lies primarily with their superior energy density relative to lithium-cobalt oxide, lithium-manganese oxide and lithium-iron phosphate electrodes.

Automated summary

Lithium-nickel-manganese-cobalt oxides are increasingly the preferred cathode type in automobile batteries due to their superior energy density compared to other types of electrodes.
