Hierarchically porous micro-rod lithium-rich cathode material Li1.2Ni0.13Mn0.54Co0.13O2 for high performance lithium-ion batteries

- The hierarchically porous micro-rod Li1.2Ni0.13Mn0.54Co0.13O2 material is prepared by a facile hydrothermal method.
- This material exhibits good cycling performance.
- It delivers discharge capacities of 280.7, 254.8, 232.3, 225.6, 201.7 and 172.7 mAh g−1 at 0.1 C, 0.2 C, 0.5 C, 1 C, 2 C and 5 C rates, respectively.
- Excellent rate capability and cycleability are obtained attributed to the hierarchically porous micro-rod structure.
