LiNixMnyCo1xyO2
LiNixMnyCo1xyO2 is a general chemical formula representing a family of layered transition metal oxides with applications in lithium-ion battery cathode materials. The 'x' and 'y' represent varying ratios of nickel (Ni), manganese (Mn), and cobalt (Co) within the structure, while '1-x-y' denotes the proportion of cobalt. The oxygen (O2) signifies the oxide component. These materials, often referred to as NMC or NCA (when aluminum is present instead of some Mn/Co), are characterized by their layered crystal structure, which facilitates the intercalation and deintercalation of lithium ions during charging and discharging cycles.
