Researchers develop method for producing boundary-free single crystals to improve NMC performance

A team led by researchers from Argonne National Laboratory has identified a fundamental source of instability in nickel-manganese-cobalt oxide (NMC) cathodes: the domain boundaries that are present in single-crystalline cathode particles. The researchers also devised a method for producing boundary-free single crystals to improve NMC performance. A paper on the...
