LiNi5O10

LiNi₅O₁₀ is a lithium-nickel oxide ceramic compound belonging to the layered oxide family of materials. This compound is primarily investigated as a cathode material for lithium-ion batteries, where its crystal structure and nickel content enable reversible lithium intercalation and deintercalation during charge-discharge cycles. Compared to conventional layered oxides like LiCoO₂, nickel-rich compositions offer potential advantages in energy density and cost reduction, making them attractive for next-generation battery chemistries in electric vehicles and high-energy portable electronics, though long-term cycle stability and thermal safety remain active areas of research.
