What are the typical positive electrode materials for lithium-ion batteries?
There are several types of positive electrode materials for lithium-ion batteries:
Lithium cobalt oxide (LiCoO2): It is the most commonly used positive electrode material with high discharge voltage and high energy density, but it is relatively expensive.
Nickel Cobalt Manganese (NCM): Made from a mixture of metal oxides such as nickel, cobalt, and manganese, it has a high energy density and good cycle life.
Lithium manganese oxide (LiMn2O4): Compared with lithium cobalt oxide, it is more cost-effective, but has a shorter cycle life and is prone to safety issues such as thermal runaway.
