Abstract:The recent advancement in the design, synthesis, and fabrication of micro/nano structured LiNi_xCo_yMn_zO₂ with one-, two-, and three-dimensional morphologies was reviewed. The major goal is to highlight LiNi_xCo_yMn_zO₂ materials, which have been utilized in lithium ion batteries with enhanced energy and power density, high energy efficiency, superior rate capability and excellent cycling stability resulting from the doping, surface coating, nanocomposites and nano-architecturing.

Key words: lithium-ion battery; micro/nano structures; LiNi_xCo_yMn_zO₂; doping; surface coating; composite materials
