The optimal sintering temperature, duration, and elemental ratios for the single-element doping were systematically investigated. Furthermore, the synergistic effect of ternary doping with B, Zr, and Ti on the cathode crystal structure and electrochemical performance were explored at different doping ratios based on their original optimal adding amounts.
