MXenes, a type of two-dimensional transition metal carbide/nitride, have received significant attention for electrochemical storage applications. With substantial capacities predicted for Mg ions, MXenes have been considered a promising candidate for cathode materials for rechargeable Mg batteries (...

This study compares the physico- and electro- chemical properties of LiNi0.8Mn0.10Co0.1O2 (NMC811) and LiNi0.83Mn0.06Co0.09Al0.1O2 (NMCA) prepared by an oxalic acid co-precipitation. Deposition of a SiO2 surface coating was attempted via reaction of the powder with an amino silane prior to the final...

The influence of the lithium inventory on the performance and degradation mechanism of NCA||Si cells operating at a third of the theoretical silicon capacity is analysed. The lithium inventory was increased by electrochemical prelithiation to a value of 300 mAhg−1(Si). Full-cells were cycled at hars...
