Microwave-assisted synthesis of Co-Free Li[Li0.2Ni0.2Mn0.6]O2 cathodes with spinel-layered coherent structure for high-power Li-ion batteries

A hydroxide co-precipitation method combined with a microwave heating process is proposed to synthesize cobalt-free Li[Li 0.2 Ni 0.2 Mn 0.6 ]O 2 with a layered/spinel heterostructure, which could deliver excellent electrochemical performance.
