ABSTRACT: Electrochemical properties of Li-excess electrode materials, Li1.2Co0.13Ni0.13Mn0.54O2, with different primary particle sizes are studied in Li cells, and phase transition behavior on continuous electrochemical cycles is systematically examined. Although the nanosize (1 μm), (b) submicrosize (
