Abstract
The ongoing advancements in lithium-ion battery technology are pivotal in propelling the performance of modern electronic devices and electric vehicles. Amongst various components, the cathode material significantly influences the battery performance, such as the specific capacity, capacity retention and the rate performance. Ternary cathode materials, composed of nickel, manganese, and cobalt (NCM), offer a balanced combination of these traits. Recent developments focus on elemental doping, which involves substituting a fraction of NCM constituent ions with alternative cations such as aluminum, titanium, or magnesium. This strategic substitution aims to enhance structural stability, increase capacity retention, and improve resistance to thermal runaway. Doped ternary materials have shown promising results, with improvements in cycle life and operational safety. However, the quest for optimal doping elements and concentrations persists to maximize performance while minimizing cost and environmental impact, ensuring the progression towards high-energy-density, durable, and safe battery technologies.

Abstract
To address the issue that a single coating agent cannot simultaneously enhance Li+-ion transport and electronic conductivity of Ni-rich cathode materials with surface modification, in the present study, we first successfully synthesized a LiNi0.8Co0.1Mn0.1O2 (NCM811) cathode material by a Taylor-flow reactor followed by surface coating with Li-BTJ and dispersion of vapor-grown carbon fibers treated with polydopamine (PDA-VGCF) filler in the composite slurry. The Li-BTJ hybrid oligomer coating can suppress side reactions and enhance ionic conductivity, and the PDA-VGCFs filler can increase electronic conductivity. As a result of the synergistic effect of the dual conducting agents, the cells based on the modified NCM811 electrodes deliver superior cycling stability and rate capability, as compared to the bare NCM811 electrode. The CR2032 coin-type cells with the NCM811@Li-BTJ + PDA-VGCF electrode retain a discharge specific capacity of ∼92.2% at 1C after 200 cycles between 2.8 and 4.3 V (vs Li/Li+), while bare NCM811 retains only 84.0%. Moreover, the NCM811@Li-BTJ + PDA-VGCF electrode-based cells reduced the total heat (Qt) by ca. 7.0% at 35 °C over the bare electrode. Remarkably, the Li-BTJ hybrid oligomer coating on the surface of the NCM811 active particles acts as an artificial cathode electrolyte interphase (ACEI) layer, mitigating irreversible surface phase transformation of the layered NCM811 cathode and facilitating Li+ ion transport. Meanwhile, the fiber-shaped PDA-VGCF filler significantly reduced microcrack propagation during cycling and promoted the electronic conductance of the NCM811-based electrode. Generally, enlightened with the current experimental findings, the concerted ion and electron conductive agents significantly enhanced the Ni-rich cathode-based cell performance, which is a promising strategy to apply to other Ni-rich cathode materials for lithium-ion batteries.

Abstract
Nickel-rich (Ni-rich) layered oxides are considered as the most promising cathode candidates for lithium-ion cells owing to their high theoretical specific capacity. However, the higher nickel content endows structural deformation through unwanted phase transitions and parasitic side reactions that lead to capacity fading upon prolonged cycling. Hence, a deep understanding of the chemistry and structural behaviour is essential for developing Ni-rich Lithium Nickel Cobalt Manganese oxide (NCM) cathode-based high-energy batteries. The present review focuses on the different challenges associated with Ni-rich NCM materials and surface modification as a strategy to solve the issues associated with NCM materials, assessment of several coating materials, and the recent developments in the surface modification of Ni-rich NCMs, with an in-depth discussion on the impact of coating on the degradation mechanism.

Abstract
Nickel-rich layered oxides are adopted as electrode materials for EV's. They suffer from a capacity loss when the cells are charged above 4.15 V versus Li/Li+ . Doping and coating can lead to significant improvement in cycling. However, the mechanisms involved at high voltage are not clear. This work is focused on LiNiO2 to overcome the effect of M cations. Galvanostatic intermittent titration technique (GITT) and in situ X-ray diffraction (XRD) experiments are performed at very low rates in various voltage ranges (3.8-4.3 V,). On the "4.2-4.3 V" plateau the R2 phase is transformed simultaneously in R3, R3 with H4 stacking faults and H4. As the charge proceeds above 4.17 V cell polarization increases, hindering Li deintercalation. In discharge, such polarization decreases immediately. Upon cycling, the polarization increases at each charge above 4.17 V. In discharge, the capacity and dQ/dV features below 4.1 V remain constant and unaffected, suggesting that the bulk of the material do not undergo significant structural defect. This study shows that the change in polarization results from the electrochemical behavior of the grain surface having very low conductivity above 4.17 V and high conductivity below this threshold. This new approach can explain the behavior observed with dopants like tungsten.

Abstract
Ni-rich layered cathodes with high energy densities reveal an enormous potential for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), however, their poor stability and reliability have inhibited their application. To ensure their stability over extensive cycles at high voltage, surface/interface modifications are necessary to minimize the adverse reactions at the cathode-electrolyte interface (CEI), which is a critical factor impeding electrode performance. Therefore, this review provides a comprehensive discussion on the surface engineering of Ni-rich cathode materials for enhancing their lithium storage property. Based on the structural characteristics of the Ni-rich cathode, the major failure mechanisms of these structures during synthesis and operation are summarized. Then the existing surface modification techniques are discussed and compared. Recent breakthroughs in various surface coatings and modification strategies are categorized and their unique functionalities in structural protection and performance-enhancing are elaborated. Finally, the challenges and outlook on the Ni-rich cathode materials are also proposed.

Abstract
Fast charging-discharging is one of the important requirements for next-generation high-energy Li-ion batteries, nevertheless, electrons transport in the active oxide materials is limited. Thus, carbon coating of active materials is a common method to supply the routes for electron transport, but it is difficult to synthesize the oxide-carbon composite for LiNiO2-based materials which need to be calcined in an oxygen-rich atmosphere. In this work, LiNi0.8Co0.1Mn0.1O2 (NCM811) coated with electronic conductor LaNiO3 (LNO) crystallites is demonstrated for the first time as fast charging-discharging and high energy cathodes for Li-ion batteries. The LaNiO3 succeeds in providing an exceptional fast charging-discharging behavior and initial coulombic efficiency in comparison with pristine NCM811. Consequently, the NCM811@3LNO electrode presents a higher capacity at 0.1 C (approximately 246 mAh g−1) and a significantly improved high rate performance (a discharge specific capacity of 130.62 mAh g−1 at 10 C), twice that of pristine NCM811. Additionally, cycling stability is also improved for the composite material. This work provides a new possibility of active oxide cathodes for high energy/power Li-ion batteries by electronic conductor LaNiO3 coating.

Abstract
LiNi0.8Co0.15Al0.05O2(NCA), a promising ternary cathode material of lithium-ion batteries, has widely attracted attention due to its high energy density and excellent cycling performance. However, the presence of residual alkali (LiOH and Li2CO3) on the surface will accelerate its reaction with HF from LiPF6, resulting in structural degradation and reduced safety. In this work, we develop a new coating material, LiH2PO4, which can effectively optimize the residual alkali on the surface of NCA to remove H2O and CO2and form a coating layer with excellent ion conductivity. Under this strategy, the coated sample NCA@0.02Li3PO4(P2-NCA) provides a capacity of 147.8 mAh g-1at a high rate of 5 C, which is higher than the original sample (126.5 mAh g-1). Impressively, the cycling stabilities of P2-NCA under 0.5 C significantly improved from 85.2% and 81.9% of pristine-NCA cathode to 96.1% and 90.5% at 25 °C and 55 °C, respectively. These satisfied findings indicate that this surface modification method provides a feasible strategy toward improving the performance and applicability of nickel-rich cathode materials.

Abstract
In this study, LiMn2-x Ti x O4 cathode materials were synthesized by a simple one-step hydrothermal method, and the effects of Ti doping on the sample structure and electrochemical properties were examined. The results indicated that Ti doping did not affect the spinel structure of LiMn2O4, and no other hybrid phases were produced. Furthermore, appropriate doping with Ti improved the particle uniformity of the samples. The electrochemical performance results showed that LiMn1.97Ti0.03O4 exhibited much better cycling performance than the undoped sample. The discharge capacity of LiMn1.97Ti0.03O4 reached 136 mAh g-1 at 25 °C at 0.2C, and the specific capacity reached 106.2 mAh g-1 after 300 cycles, with a capacity retention rate of 78.09%. Additionally, the specific capacity of LiMn1.97Ti0.03O4 was 102.3 mAh g-1 after 100 cycles at 55 °C, with a capacity retention rate of 75.44%. The Ti-doped samples thus exhibited an impressive high-rate performance. The discharge capacity of LiMn2O4 was only 31.3 mAh g-1 at 10C, while the discharge-specific capacity of LiMn1.97Ti0.03O4 reached 73.4 mAh g-1. Furthermore, to assess the higher Li+ diffusion coefficient and lower internal resistance of the Ti-doped samples, cyclic voltammetry and impedance spectra data were obtained. Our results showed that Ti doping enhanced the crystal structure of LiMn2O4 and improved Li+ diffusion, resulting in significant improvements in the cycling and rate performance of Ti-doped samples.

Abstract
Ni-rich layered oxides are considered as promising cathode materials for Li-ion batteries (LIBs) due to their satisfying theoretical specific capacity and reasonable cost. However, poor cycling stability caused by structural collapse and interfacial instability of the Ni-rich cathode material limits the further applications of commercialization. Herein, a series of B-doped single-crystal LiNi0.83Co0.05Mn0.12O2 (NCM) are designed and fabricated, aiming to improve the structural stability and enlarge the Li+-ions diffusion paths simultaneously. It reveals that B-doping at TM layers will facilitate the formation of stronger B-O covalent bonds and expand the layered distance, significantly enhancing the thermodynamics and kinetic of NCM electrode. With the synergistic effect of single-crystalline architecture and appropriate B-doping, it can effectively alleviate the occurrence of internal strain with structural degradation and boost the intrinsic rate capability synchronously. As anticipated, the 0.6 mol % B-doped NCM electrode exhibits enhanced rate property and superior cycle stability, even at the harsh condition of high-temperature and elevated cut-off voltage. Remarkably, when tested in pouch-type full-cell, it maintains high reversible capacity with superior capacity retention of 91.35% over 500 cycles with only 0.0173% decay per cycle. This research illustrates the feasibility of B-doping and single-crystalline architecture to improve the electrochemical performance, which is beneficial to understand the enhancement effect and provides the design strategy for the commercialization progress of Ni-rich cathode materials.

Micron-Sized Monodisperse Particle LiNi 0.6Co 0.2Mn 0.2O 2 Derived by Oxalate Solvothermal Process Combined with Calcination as Cathode Material for Lithium-Ion Batteries. MATERIALS 2021; 14:ma14102576. [PMID: 34063493 PMCID: PMC8155954 DOI: 10.3390/ma14102576] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/15/2021] [Revised: 05/12/2021] [Accepted: 05/13/2021] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
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
To satisfy the increasing energy density requirements for electric vehicles and grid-scale energy storage systems, Ni-rich layered oxide cathode materials are often fabricated as micron-sized secondary spherical particles consisting of nanosized single crystals. Unfortunately, the hierarchical structure inevitably induces intergranular cracks and parasitic reactions at the cathode-electrolyte interphase, aggravating chemomechanical instability and seriously hindering their practical application. Here, we propose a nanowelding strategy to build consolidation points at the grain boundary of the primary particles, which dramatically enhances the capacity retention and chemomechanical stability. Meanwhile, the oxygen vacancies in the ceria-based solid electrolyte possessing oxygen adsorbing and storage capability can restrain the active oxygenates in the surficial lattice to avoid oxygen evolution. Experimental characterization further confirms that this unique architecture can effectively prevent the liquid electrolyte from penetrating into the active material along the grain boundary and consequently eliminate the adverse effects, including intergranular cracks, cathode electrolyte interface formation and growth, and the layered structure-rock salt phase irreversible transition. This finding provides a promising approach to realize the rapid commercialization of highly stabilized nickel-rich cathode materials for high-performance lithium-ion batteries.

Abstract
Nickel-rich layered transition metal oxides are considered as promising cathode candidates to construct next-generation lithium-ion batteries to satisfy the demands of electrical vehicles, because of the high energy density, low cost, and environment friendliness. However, some problems related to rate capability, structure stability, and safety still hamper their commercial application. In this Review, beginning with the relationships between the physicochemical properties and electrochemical performance, the underlying mechanisms of the capacity/voltage fade and the unstable structure of Ni-rich cathodes are deeply analyzed. Furthermore, the recent research progress of Ni-rich oxide cathode materials through element doping, surface modification, and structure tuning are summarized. Finally, this review concludes by discussing new insights to expand the field of Ni-rich oxides and promote practical applications.

Abstract
Ni-rich layered oxides are promising cathode materials for developing high-energy lithium-ion batteries. To overcome the major challenge of surface degradation, a TiO2 surface coating based on polydopamine (PDA) modification was investigated in this study. The PDA precoating layer had abundant OH catechol groups, which attracted Ti(OEt)4 molecules in ethanol solvent and contributed towards obtaining a uniform TiO2 nanolayer after calcination. Owing to the uniform coating of the TiO2 nanolayer, TiO2 -coated PDA-LiNi0.6 Co0.2 Mn0.2 O2 (TiO2 -PNCM) displayed an excellent electrochemical stability during cycling under high voltage (3.0-4.5 V vs. Li+ /Li), during which the cathode material undergoes a highly oxidative charge process. In addition, TiO2 -PNCM exhibited excellent cyclability at elevated temperature (60 °C) compared with the bare NCM. The surface degradation of the Ni-rich cathode material, which is accelerated under harsh cycling conditions, was effectively suppressed after the formation of an ultra-thin TiO2 coating layer.

Abstract
A multifunctional coating with high ionic and electronic conductivity is constructed on the surface of LiNi0.8Co0.1Mn0.1O2 (NCM) to boost the battery stability upon cycling and during storage as well. Phosphoric acid reacts with residual lithium species on the pristine NCM to form a Li3PO4 coating with extra carbon nanotubes (CNTs) penetrating through, which shows high ionic and electronic conductivity. NCM, Li3PO4, CNTs, and the electrolyte jointly form a four-phase cathode electrolyte interface, which plays a key role in the great enhancement of capacity retention, from 50.3% for pristine NCM to 84.8% for the modified one after 500 cycles at 0.5C at room temperature. The modified NCM also delivers superior electrochemical performances at a high cut-off voltage (4.5 V), high temperature (55 °C), and high rate (10C). Furthermore, it can deliver 154.2 mA h g-1 at the 500th cycle after exposed to air with high humidity for 2 weeks. These results demonstrate that the well-constructed multifunctional coating can remarkably enhance the chemical and electrochemical performances of NCM. The improved cycling, storage, and rate performance are attributed to the four-phase cathode electrolyte interface delivering high electron and ionic conductivity and securing the cathode against attack. This work broadens the horizon for constructing effective electrode/electrolyte interfaces for electrochemical energy storage and conversion.
