• • The modified Ni-rich cathode (LiNi0.9Co0.05Mn0.05O2) achieves a high specific capacity of 207.3 mA h g−1, which is critical for extending the driving range of electric vehicles.
• • Cycling stability is exceptional with 97.6% capacity retention after 100 cycles, indicating reduced capacity fade and longer battery lifespan, directly addressing a key barrier to commercialization.
• • Superior rate capability is demonstrated with 152.1 mA h g−1 at 10.0 C, enabling fast charging applications without significant capacity loss, a requirement for consumer electronics and EVs.
• • Enhanced thermal stability is achieved through synergistic doping and coating, mitigating safety risks associated with Ni-rich cathodes, which is essential for large-scale adoption.
