Fig. 3

Upper plot Discharge profiles (vs. Li-metal anode) of TiS2, LiMn2O4, LiCoO2, LiFePO4, LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 and LiNixMnyCozO2. The estimated specific energy of each cathode is shown in parentheses, and the values are obtained by simply considering the working voltage of a Li metal||IC half-cell and the discharge capacity of each cathode. Lower plot Effect of the Ni amount on the discharge capacity, thermal stability (peak temperature (Tpeak) and heat generation (∆H)), capacity retention and electronic conductivity (σe) of various NMC materials. Detailed information on these parameters is given in Supporting Table 2.
