High-Performance Li-Ion Batteries Using Nickel-Rich Lithium Nickel Cobalt Aluminium Oxide–Nanocarbon Core–Shell Cathode: In Operando X-ray Diffraction

-axis contracts during the charging process and vice versa. Interestingly, the core-shell material displays a significantly high reversible capacity of 91% in the formation cycle at 0.1C and a retention of 84% at 0.5C after 250 cycles, whereas pristine NCA retains 71%. The robust mechanical force assisted dry coating obtained by the mechanofusion method shows improved electrochemical performance and demonstrates its practical feasibility.
