History of Development
Lithium Nickel Manganese Cobalt cathode Battery - Li(NiMnCo)O2 brings together the high energy density of LiCo2 and the rate capability of LiMn2O4 to create a cell with moderate energy density and good power delivery. The reduction in Cobalt also helps reduce cost and improves safety.
Advantages
1. High rate capability
2. Good thermal performance
3. Low self discharge
4. High voltage
5. Cost
Disadvantages
Lacks the energy density of LiCo2
