The high nickel cathode material LiNi x Co y Mn1-x-y O2(x≥0.6,NCM) is considered to be one of the most valuable cathode materials for lithium?ion batteries due to its low cost,high energy density and long service life.Although the high nickel content leads to a significant increase in the specific capacity and energy density of NCM,the increase in nickel content leads to poor cycling and thermal stability,which severely limits its practical application.Doping modification is an effective strategy to improve the structural stability and electrochemical performance of NCM.In this review,the common doping preparation methods of NCM are first described in detail.Subsequently,the effects of various doped elements on the lithium storage,rate performance and cycling performance of NCM were systematically analyzed.Finally,the development and future challenges of NCM are prospected,which is expected to provide an important reference for the application of NCM.
