In this study, isothermal micro-calorimetry is used to examine the heat generation of lithium- and manganese-rich layered oxides (LMR-NCMs) during their first cycle. LMR-NCM exhibits a voltage hysteresis and a unique voltage plateau at ≈4.5 V during the first charge, leading to irreversible structural rearrangements and significant heat generation. The results indicate that the activation process… [read more]
