Lithium Nickel Cobalt Aluminum Oxide is a next-generation layered oxide cathode material for lithium-ion batteries, valued for its high energy density, superior thermal stability, and relatively low toxicity. Compared to LiCoO₂, NCA delivers significantly higher capacity and improved cycling performance, making it a leading choice for hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs). Its optimized composition with nickel as the dominant element, cobalt for structural stability, and aluminum for thermal robustness ensures a balance of performance and safety. NCA continues to be one of the most promising cathode chemistries for advanced automotive energy storage.
