READ MOREAn increase in cobalt prices further widens the cost gap of cathode materials. In addition, the cost of cobalt significantly influences technical strategies, raw material costs, and selling price of EVs with the rapid development of global EVs, the amount of cobalt in lithium battery cathode materials urgently needs to be reduced [60
READ MOREThe criticality of cobalt (Co) has been motivating the quest for Co-free positive electrode materials for building lithium (Li)-ion batteries (LIBs). However, the LIBs based on Co-free positive electrode materials usually suffer from relatively fast capacity decay when coupled with conventional LiPF6-organocarbonate electrolytes. To address this issue, a 1,2
