Lithium-rich layered powders, Li2MnO3-stabilized LiMO2 (M = Ni, Co, Mn), are attractive cathode candidates for the next generations of high energy lithium-ion batteries. However, most of the state-of-the-art preparation procedures are complicated and require multiple energy-intensive reaction steps. Thus, elucidating a low-cost synthetic protocol is important for the application of these materials in future lithium-ion batteries. Recent developments in the synthesis procedures of lithium rich layered powders are discussed and future directions are pointed out in this review.
