LiNi1xMxPO4
LiNi1xMxPO4 refers to a class of cathode materials for lithium-ion batteries where nickel (Ni) is partially substituted by another metal, M, in a lithium metal phosphate structure. The general formula is LiNi1-xMxPO4, where 'x' represents the molar fraction of the substituent element M. Commonly, M is a transition metal such as cobalt (Co), manganese (Mn), or iron (Fe), or sometimes other elements like magnesium (Mg) or aluminum (Al).
The primary goal of this substitution is to enhance the electrochemical performance of the LiNiPO4 cathode.
The specific properties of LiNi1-xMxPO4, such as its capacity, voltage, conductivity, and stability, are highly dependent
