Abstract

In the last three decades, the successful application of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) for consumer electronics has laid a solid foundation for the rapid development of large-format batteries for electric vehicles (EV) and energy storage systems (ESS). By combining the merits of the high capacity of lithium nickel oxide (LiNiO2), with the good rate capability of lithium cobalt oxide (LiCoO2), and the thermal stability and low cost of lithium manganese oxide (LiMnO2), lithium nickel cobalt manganese oxide (NCM, LiNi1−x−yCoxMnyO2) enjoys outstandingly comprehensive advantages and turns to be the major cathode material for lithium-ion batteries. This chapter is dedicated to briefly introduce the development and application of NCM materials. The problems and challenges of nickel-rich NCM are elucidated, and some corresponding solutions are put forward. In addition, examples are given to illustrate different NCM product design options for various commercial applications.
