Abstract

At present, lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have been vastly applied and are widely being used for portable device, hybrid electric vehicles, and aviation field. Cathode materials, as the most important part in the LIBs, shows a profound prospect and potential. This study mainly focuses on the study of the means of how to improve the electrochemical properties and performance of the NCM cathode materials, examining the characterization of the NCM cathode materials through the characterization techniques. By referring different doping elements on NCM cathode materials, this paper aims to examine the structural properties, electrochemical performance, and stability of these materials under different dopants. Several characterization techniques, inductively coupled plasma (ICP), x-ray photoelectron spectroscope (XPS), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy dispersive spectroscope (EDS), and x-ray diffraction (XRD) results have clearly displayed a large amount of figure on cathode materials, which help us to gain a better understanding on the characteristic of each cathode materials and help us to do the further calculation and study on cathode materials.
