LiNi0.5Co0.2Mn0.3O2 cathode material with enormous energy density, higher capacity and lower cost has basically realized industrialization. But its comprehensive and rapid development are hampered attributed to its low retention rate and poor thermal stability. In this paper, the effects of preparation process optimization, doping and coating methods on the properties of ternary cathode materials are reviewed. The research status and application of thermoelectrochemistry and numerical simulation are introduced. © 2017, Chongq...
