Lithium-Ion Batteries (LIB) are widely known for their high-performance electrochemical performance, causing a global demand. However, conventional NCM622 (Nickel-Cobalt-Manganese) cathodes suffer crystal structure degradation after 300-400 cycles, limiting its battery lifetime. The research aims to reduce structural degradation by creating stronger-structured cathodes through single crystal NCM622 cathodes. A semi-batch co-precipitation method is employed to synthesize NCM622 precursor particles using ammonium oxalate and sodium carbonate precipitants to develop controlled uniform particles in the cathode material. The aim of this study is to develop a single-crystal structure tenfold larger than its conventional size, while providing mechanical and thermal resistance up to 1000 cycles. Ongoing characterization by SEM, XRD, and electrochemical cycling, is performed to evaluate the cathode capacity retention and stability. With this approach, cathodes in LIB are longer-lasting and durable for future applications.
