Herein, the successful synthesis of MnPO4-coated LiNi0.4Co0.2Mn0.4O2 (MP-NCM) as a lithium battery cathode material is reported. The MnPO4 coating acts as an ideal protective layer, physically preventing the contact between the NCM active material and the electrolyte and, thus, stabilizing the elect...
