| Application: | Lithium nickel cobalt aluminum oxide (LNCO) can be used as a thermally stable cathode material. It shows good cyclic performance and can be operated around 3.65V. It is further utilized in the fabrication of lithium-ion batteries for hybrid electric vehicles. |
| Application: | NCA is Aluminum doped Lithium nickel cobalt oxide (LNCO). Al doping is found very effective to suppress the cell impedance rise by stabilizing the charge-transfer impedance on the cathode side besides increasing the thermal stability of the material. NCA shows excellent electrochemical performance. |
| Features and Benefits: | High specific reversible capacity, good cycling stability and good thermal stability. |
| General description: | Lithium nickel cobalt aluminium oxide (NCA) is a class of electrode material that can be used in the fabrication of lithium-ion batteries. Lithium-ion batteries consist of anode, cathode, and electrolyte with a charge-discharge cycle. These materials enable the formation of greener and sustainable batteries for electrical energy storage. |
| General description: | Lithium nickel cobalt mixed oxide which is a continuous solid solution series between lithium nickel oxide and lithium cobalt oxide is widely used as a positive electrode for Lithium Ion Batteries. Lithium nickel cobalt aluminium oxide (LNCA) belongs to this family of layered transition metal oxides and is used as a cathode in Lithium Ion batteries in plug-in electric hybrid vehicles. Aluminium substitution in the cathode increases the cycling and thermal stability. |
