Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 2023; 62:e202300209. [PMID: 36718610 DOI: 10.1002/anie.202300209] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/05/2023] [Revised: 01/30/2023] [Accepted: 01/30/2023] [Indexed: 02/01/2023]
Abstract
Interface fusion plays a key role in constructing Ni-based single-crystal cathodes, and is governed by the atomic migration related to kinetics. However, the interfacial atom migration path and its control factors are lack of clearly understanding. Herein, we systematically probe the solid-state synthesis mechanism of single-crystal LiNi0.92 Co0.04 Mn0.04 O2 , including the effects of precursor size, Li/transition metal (TM) ratio and sintering temperature on the structure. Multi-dimensional analysis unravels that thermodynamics drives interface atoms migration through intermediate state (i.e., cation mixing phase) to induce grain boundary fusion. Moreover, we demonstrate that smaller precursor size (<6 μm), lager Li/TM ratio (>1.0) and higher temperature (≥810 °C) are conducive to promote the growth of the intermediate state due to reaction kinetics enhancement, and ultimately strengthen the atomic migration-induced interface fusion.

Long-Range Cationic Disordering Induces two Distinct Degradation Pathways in Co-Free Ni-Rich Layered Cathodes. Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 2023; 62:e202214880. [PMID: 36545843 DOI: 10.1002/anie.202214880] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 17.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/10/2022] [Revised: 11/28/2022] [Accepted: 12/21/2022] [Indexed: 12/24/2022]
Abstract
Ni-rich layered oxides are one of the most attractive cathode materials in high-energy-density lithium-ion batteries, their degradation mechanisms are still not completely elucidated. Herein, we report a strong dependence of degradation pathways on the long-range cationic disordering of Co-free Ni-rich Li1-m (Ni0.94 Al0.06 )1+m O2 (NA). Interestingly, a disordered layered phase with lattice mismatch can be easily formed in the near-surface region of NA particles with very low cation disorder (NA-LCD, m≤0.06) over electrochemical cycling, while the layered structure is basically maintained in the core of particles forming a "core-shell" structure. Such surface reconstruction triggers a rapid capacity decay during the first 100 cycles between 2.7 and 4.3 V at 1 C or 3 C. On the contrary, the local lattice distortions are gradually accumulated throughout the whole NA particles with higher degrees of cation disorder (NA-HCD, 0.06≤m≤0.15) that lead to a slow capacity decay upon cycling.

Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 2023; 62:e202301241. [PMID: 36781391 DOI: 10.1002/anie.202301241] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/24/2023] [Revised: 02/13/2023] [Accepted: 02/13/2023] [Indexed: 02/15/2023]
Abstract
The practical viability of high-nickel layered oxide cathodes is compromised by the interphasial and structural degradations. Herein, we demonstrate that by applying an in situ interweaved binder, the cycling stability of high-nickel cathodes can be significantly improved. Specifically, the results show that the resilient binder network immobilizes the transition-metal ions, suppresses electrolyte oxidative decomposition, and mitigates cathode particles pulverization, thus resulting in suppressed cathode-to-anode chemical crossover and ameliorated chemistry and architecture of electrode-electrolyte interphases. Pouch full cells with high-mass-loading LiNi0.8 Mn0.1 Co0.1 O2 cathodes achieve 0.02 % capacity decay per cycle at 1 C rate over 1 000 deep cycles at 4.4 V (vs. graphite). This work demonstrates a rational structural and compositional design strategy of polymer binders to mitigate the structural and interphasial degradations of high-Ni cathodes in lithium-ion batteries.

Abstract
Despite the fact that high-valent nickel-based oxides exhibit promising catalytic activity for the urea oxidation reaction (UOR), the fundamental questions concerning the origin of the high performance and the structure-activity correlations remain to be elucidated. Here, we unveil the underlying enhanced mechanism of UOR by employing a series of prepared cation-vacancy controllable LiNiO2 (LNO) model catalysts. Impressively, the optimized layered LNO-2 exhibits an extremely low overpotential at 10 mA cm-2 along with excellent stability after the 160 h test. Operando characterisations combined with the theoretical analysis reveal the activated lattice oxygen in layered LiNiO2 with moderate cation vacancies triggers charge disproportion of the Ni site to form Ni4+ species, facilitating deprotonation in a lattice oxygen involved catalytic process.

Abstract
Ni-rich layered oxide cathodes are promising candidates to satisfy the increasing energy demand of lithium-ion batteries for automotive applications. Thermal and cycling stability issues originating from increasing Ni contents are addressed by mitigation strategies such as elemental bulk substitution ("doping") and surface coating. Although both approaches separately benefit the cycling stability, there are only few reports investigating the combination of two of such approaches. Herein, the combination of Zr as common dopant in commercial materials with effective Li2 WO4 and WO3 coatings was investigated with special focus on the impact of different material processing conditions on structural parameters and electrochemical performance in nickel-cobalt-manganese (NCM) || graphite cells. Results indicated that the Zr4+ dopant diffusing to the surface during annealing improved the electrochemical performance compared to samples without additional coatings. This work emphasizes the importance to not only investigate the effect of individual dopants or coatings but also the influences between both.

Abstract
Ni-rich cathode LiNixCoyMn1-x-yO2 (NCM, x ≥ 0.5) materials are promising cathodes for lithium-ion batteries due to their high energy density and low cost. However, several issues, such as their complex preparation and electrochemical instability have hindered their commercial application. Herein, a simple solvothermal method combined with calcination was employed to synthesize LiNi0.6Co0.2Mn0.2O2 with micron-sized monodisperse particles, and the influence of the sintering temperature on the structures, morphologies, and electrochemical properties was investigated. The material sintered at 800 °C formed micron-sized particles with monodisperse characteristics, and a well-order layered structure. When charged–discharged in the voltage range of 2.8–4.3 V, it delivered an initial discharge capacity of 175.5 mAh g−1 with a Coulombic efficiency of 80.3% at 0.1 C, and a superior discharge capacity of 135.4 mAh g−1 with a capacity retention of 84.4% after 100 cycles at 1 C. The reliable electrochemical performance is probably attributable to the micron-sized monodisperse particles, which ensured stable crystal structure and fewer side reactions. This work is expected to provide a facile approach to preparing monodisperse particles of different scales, and improve the performance of Ni-rich NCM or other cathode materials for lithium-ion batteries.

Abstract
Anode-free lithium metal batteries can maximize the energy density at the cell level. However, without the Li compensation from the anode side, it faces much more challenging to achieve a long cycling life with a competitive energy density than Li metal-based batteries. Here, we prolong the lifespan of an anode-free Li metal battery by introducing Li-rich Li2 [Ni0.8 Co0.1 Mn0.1 ]O2 into the cathode as a Li-ions extender. The Li2 [Ni0.8 Co0.1 Mn0.1 ]O2 can release a large amount of Li-ions during the first charging process to supplement the Li loss in the anode, then convert into NCM811, thus extending the lifespan of the battery without the introduction of inactive elements. By the benefit of Li-rich cathode and high reversibility of Li metal on Cu foil, the anode-free pouch cells enable to achieve 447 Wh kg-1 energy density and 84 % capacity retention after 100 cycles in the condition of limited electrolyte addition (E/C ratio of 2 g Ah-1 ).

Abstract
Ni-rich layered oxide cathode materials, in particular the end member LiNiO2 , suffer from drawbacks such as high surface reactivity and severe structural changes during de-/lithiation, leading to accelerated degradation and limiting practical implementation of these otherwise highly promising electrode materials in Li-ion batteries. Among all known phase transformations occurring in LiNiO2 , the one from the H2 phase to the H3 phase at high state of charge is believed to have the most detrimental impact on the material's stability. In this work, the multistep phase transformation process and associated effects are analyzed by galvanostatic cycling, operando X-ray diffraction, and in situ pressure and gas analysis. The combined results provide thorough insights into the structural changes and how they affect the stability of LiNiO2 . During the H2-H3 transformation, the most significant change occurs in the c-lattice parameter, resulting in large mechanical stress in LiNiO2 . As for electrochemical stability, it suffers strongly in the H3 region. Oxygen evolution is observed not only during charge but also during discharge and found to be correlated with the presence of the H2 and H3 phases. Taken together, the experimental data improve the understanding of the degradation processes and the inherent instability of LiNiO2 in Li-ion cells when operated above around 75 % state of charge.
