Improving the electrochemical performance of Ni-rich cathode material LiNi0.815Co0.15Al0.035O2 by removing the lithium residues and forming Li3PO4 coating layer
NH4H2PO4 can remove lithium residues and form a uniform Li3PO4 coating layer. Porous Li3PO4 coating layer suppresses side reactions. The thermal stability of Ni-rich cathode materials can be significantly enhanced.
