Synergistic Microstructural Engineering of LiNi <sub>0.8</sub> Co <sub>0.1</sub> Mn <sub>0.1</sub> O <sub>2</sub> Cathodes via pH-Controlled Crystallographic Orientation of Ni <sub>0.8</sub> Co <sub>0.1</sub> Mn <sub>0.1</sub> (OH) <sub>2</sub> Precu
at 0.1 C and a 92.9% capacity retention after 100 cycles at 1 C within a 2.8-4.3 V range. The elevated electrochemical properties can be ascribed to the synergistic microstructural engineering of LNCM-11.4. The low degree of Ni/Li mixing maintains the structural stability and unique orderly arrangement of nanoprimary particles, which facilitates the diffusion of Li-ions and alleviates accumulation of antistrophic pressure. This work demonstrates that pH-controlled precursor crystallization enables synergistic microstructural engineering, which provides a feasible strategy for the rational design of high-performance Ni-rich cathode materials.
