Lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxides (abbreviated NMC, Li-NMC, LNMC, or NCM) are mixed metal oxides of lithium, nickel, manganese and cobalt with the general formula LiNixMnyCo1-x-yO2. These materials are commonly used in lithium-ion batteries for mobile devices and electric vehicles, acting as the. NMC materials have similar to the individual metal oxide compound (LiCoO2). Lithium ions between the layers upon discharging, remaining between the lattice planes until the. NMC cathode materials are historically related to 's 1980s work on (LiCoO2), and can be represented as an intergrowth between a layered NaFeO2-type oxide and a closely related lithium rich Li2MnO3 oxide whose amount is. Many use NMC cathode batteries. NMC batteries were installed in the in 2011, and in the starting from 2013. Other electric cars with NMC batteries include, as of 2020:, BAIC EU5 R550,,,. The,, morphology, and composition all affect the performance of NMC materials, and these parameters can be tuned by using different methods. The first report of nickel manganese cobalt oxide used a method,. The cell voltage of lithium-ion batteries with NMC cathodes is 3.6–3.7 V. has reported that the relative positioning of the metals' to the oxygen 2p band leads to each metal's role within NMC cathode materials. The manganese 3d band. • • • •.
