Graphene collage on Ni-rich layered oxide cathodes for advanced lithium-ion batteries.

ABSTRACT: The energy storage performance of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) depends on the electrode capacity and electrode/cell design parameters, which have previously been addressed separately, leading to a failure in practical implementation. Here, we show how conformal graphene (Gr) coating on Ni-rich oxides enables the fabrication of highly packed cathodes containing a high content of active material (~99 wt%) without conventional conducting agents. With 99 wt% LiNi_0.8Co_0.15Al_0.05O₂ (NCA) and electrode density of ~4.3 g cm^-3, the Gr-coated NCA cathode delivers a high areal capacity, ~5.4 mAh cm^-2 (~38% increase) and high volumetric capacity, ~863 mAh cm^-3 (~34% increase) at a current rate of 0.2 C (~1.1 mA cm^-2); this surpasses the bare electrode approaching a commercial level of electrode setting (96 wt% NCA; ~3.3 g cm^-3). Our findings offer a combinatorial avenue for materials engineering and electrode design toward advanced LIB cathodes.

High-Performance Heterostructured Cathodes for Lithium-Ion Batteries with a Ni-Rich Layered Oxide Core and a Li-Rich Layered Oxide Shell.

Project description:The Ni-rich layered oxides with a Ni content of >0.5 are drawing much attention recently to increase the energy density of lithium-ion batteries. However, the Ni-rich layered oxides suffer from aggressive reaction of the cathode surface with the organic electrolyte at the higher operating voltages, resulting in consequent impedance rise and capacity fade. To overcome this difficulty, we present here a heterostructure composed of a Ni-rich LiNi0.7Co0.15Mn0.15O2 core and a Li-rich Li1.2-x Ni0.2Mn0.6O2 shell, incorporating the advantageous features of the structural stability of the core and chemical stability of the shell. With a unique chemical treatment for the activation of the Li2MnO3 phase of the shell, a high capacity is realized with the Li-rich shell material. Aberration-corrected scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) provides direct evidence for the formation of surface Li-rich shell layer. As a result, the heterostructure exhibits a high capacity retention of 98% and a discharge-voltage retention of 97% during 100 cycles with a discharge capacity of 190 mA h g-1 (at 2.0-4.5 V under C/3 rate, 1C = 200 mA g-1).

Stabilizing nickel-rich layered oxide cathodes by magnesium doping for rechargeable lithium-ion batteries.

Project description:Nickel-rich layered transition metal oxides are attractive cathode materials for rechargeable lithium-ion batteries but suffer from inherent structural and thermal instabilities that limit the deliverable capacity and cycling performance on charging to a cutoff voltage above 4.3 V. Here we report LiNi0.90Co0.07Mg0.03O2 as a stable cathode material. The obtained LiNi0.90Co0.07Mg0.03O2 microspheres exhibit high capacity (228.3 mA h g-1 at 0.1C) and remarkable cyclability (84.3% capacity retention after 300 cycles). Combined X-ray diffraction and Cs-corrected microscopy reveal that Mg doping stabilizes the layered structure by suppressing Li/Ni cation mixing and Ni migration to interlayer Li slabs. Because of the pillar effect of Mg in Li sites, LiNi0.90Co0.07Mg0.03O2 shows decent thermal stability and small lattice variation until it is charged to 4.7 V, undergoing a H1-H2 phase transition without discernible formation of an unstable H3 phase. The results indicate that moderate Mg doping is a facile yet effective strategy to develop high-performance Ni-rich cathode materials.

Size controllable single-crystalline Ni-rich cathodes for high-energy lithium-ion batteries

Project description:ABSTRACT A single-crystalline Ni-rich (SCNR) cathode with a large particle size can achieve higher energy density, and is safer, than polycrystalline counterparts. However, synthesizing large SCNR cathodes (>5 μm) without compromising electrochemical performance is very challenging due to the incompatibility between Ni-rich cathodes and high temperature calcination. Herein, we introduce Vegard's Slope as a guide for rationally selecting sintering aids, and we successfully synthesize size-controlled SCNR cathodes, the largest of which can be up to 10 μm. Comprehensive theoretical calculation and experimental characterization show that sintering aids continuously migrate to the particle surface, suppress sublattice oxygen release and reduce the surface energy of the typically exposed facets, which promotes grain boundary migration and elevates calcination critical temperature. The dense SCNR cathodes, fabricated by packing of different-sized SCNR cathode particles, achieve a highest electrode press density of 3.9 g cm−3 and a highest volumetric energy density of 3000 Wh L−1. The pouch cell demonstrates a high energy density of 303 Wh kg−1, 730 Wh L−1 and 76% capacity retention after 1200 cycles. SCNR cathodes with an optimized particle size distribution can meet the requirements for both electric vehicles and portable devices. Furthermore, the principle for controlling the growth of SCNR particles can be widely applied when synthesizing other materials for Li-ion, Na-ion and K-ion batteries. Controllable grain sizes in a wide range enable the single-crystalline Ni-rich cathode to break through the bottleneck of volumetric energy density, which makes it qualified to replace LiCoO2 and alleviate the cobalt crisis.

Gas-solid interfacial modification of oxygen activity in layered oxide cathodes for lithium-ion batteries.

Project description:Lattice oxygen can play an intriguing role in electrochemical processes, not only maintaining structural stability, but also influencing electron and ion transport properties in high-capacity oxide cathode materials for Li-ion batteries. Here, we report the design of a gas-solid interface reaction to achieve delicate control of oxygen activity through uniformly creating oxygen vacancies without affecting structural integrity of Li-rich layered oxides. Theoretical calculations and experimental characterizations demonstrate that oxygen vacancies provide a favourable ionic diffusion environment in the bulk and significantly suppress gas release from the surface. The target material is achievable in delivering a discharge capacity as high as 301?mAh?g(-1) with initial Coulombic efficiency of 93.2%. After 100 cycles, a reversible capacity of 300?mAh?g(-1) still remains without any obvious decay in voltage. This study sheds light on the comprehensive design and control of oxygen activity in transition-metal-oxide systems for next-generation Li-ion batteries.

Enhancing the Electrochemical Performance of Ni-Rich LiNi0.88Co0.09Al0.03O2 Cathodes through Tungsten-Doping for Lithium-Ion Batteries.

Project description:The tungsten-doped (0.5 and 1.0 mol%) LiNi0.88Co0.09Al0.03O2 (NCA) cathode materials are manufactured to systematically examine the stabilizing effect of W-doping. The 1.0 mol% W-doped LiNi0.88Co0.09Al0.03O2 (W1.0-NCA) cathodes deliver 173.5 mAh g-1 even after 100 cycles at 1 C, which is 95.2% of the initial capacity. While the capacity retention of NCA cathodes cycled in identical conditions is 86.3%. The optimal performances of the W1.0-NCA could be ascribed to the suppression of impendence increase and the decrease in anisotropic volume change, as well as preventing the collapse of structures during cycling. These findings demonstrate that the W-doping considerably enhances the electrochemical performance of NCA, which has potential applications in the development of Ni-rich layered cathode materials that can display high capacity with superior cycling stability.

Structural and chemical evolution in layered oxide cathodes of lithium-ion batteries revealed by synchrotron techniques.

Project description:Rechargeable battery technologies have revolutionized electronics, transportation and grid energy storage. Many materials are being researched for battery applications, with layered transition metal oxides (LTMO) the dominating cathode candidate with remarkable electrochemical performance. Yet, daunting challenges persist in the quest for further battery developments targeting lower cost, longer lifespan, improved energy density and enhanced safety. This is, in part, because of the intrinsic complexity of real-world batteries, featuring sophisticated interplay among microstructural, compositional and chemical heterogeneities, which has motivated tremendous research efforts using state-of-the-art analytical techniques. In this research field, synchrotron techniques have been identified as a suite of effective methods for advanced battery characterization in a non-destructive manner with sensitivities to the lattice, electronic and morphological structures. This article provides a holistic overview of cutting-edge developments in synchrotron-based research on LTMO battery cathode materials. We discuss the complexity and evolution of LTMO's material properties upon battery operation and review recent synchrotron-based research works that address the frontier challenges and provide novel insights in this field. Finally, we formulate a perspective on future directions of synchrotron-based battery research, involving next-generation X-ray facilities and advanced computational developments.

Fluorination Effect on Lithium- and Manganese-Rich Layered Oxide Cathodes.

Project description:Lithium- and manganese-rich (LMR) layered oxides are promising high-energy cathodes for next-generation lithium-ion batteries, yet their commercialization has been hindered by a number of performance issues. While fluorination has been explored as a mitigating approach, results from polycrystalline-particle-based studies are inconsistent and the mechanism for improvement in some reports remains unclear. In the present study, we develop an in situ fluorination method that leads to fluorinated LMR with no apparent impurities. Using well-defined single-crystal Li1.2Ni0.2Mn0.6O2 (LNMO) as a platform, we show that a high fluorination level leads to decreased oxygen activities, reduced side reactions at high voltages, and a broadly improved cathode performance. Detailed characterization reveals a particle-level Mn3+ concentration gradient from the surface to the bulk of fluorinated-LNMO crystals, ascribed to the formation of a Ni-rich LizNixMn2-xO4-yFy (x > 0.5) spinel phase on the surface and a "spinel-layered" coherent structure in the bulk where domains of a LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 high-voltage spinel phase are integrated into the native layered framework. This work provides fundamental understanding of the fluorination effect on LMR and key insights for future development of high-energy Mn-based cathodes with an intergrown/composite crystal structure.

Ni-Rich Layered Oxide with Preferred Orientation (110) Plane as a Stable Cathode Material for High-Energy Lithium-Ion Batteries.

Project description:The cathode, a crucial constituent part of Li-ion batteries, determines the output voltage and integral energy density of batteries to a great extent. Among them, Ni-rich LiNixCoyMnzO2 (x + y + z = 1, x ≥ 0.6) layered transition metal oxides possess a higher capacity and lower cost as compared to LiCoO2, which have stimulated widespread interests. However, the wide application of Ni-rich cathodes is seriously hampered by their poor diffusion dynamics and severe voltage drops. To moderate these problems, a nanobrick Ni-rich layered LiNi0.6Co0.2Mn0.2O2 cathode with a preferred orientation (110) facet was designed and successfully synthesized via a modified co-precipitation route. The galvanostatic intermittent titration technique (GITT) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) analysis of LiNi0.6Co0.2Mn0.2O2 reveal its superior kinetic performance endowing outstanding rate performance and long-term cycle stability, especially the voltage drop being as small as 67.7 mV at a current density of 0.5 C for 200 cycles. Due to its unique architecture, dramatically shortened ion/electron diffusion distance, and more unimpeded Li-ion transmission pathways, the current nanostructured LiNi0.6Co0.2Mn0.2O2 cathode enhances the Li-ion diffusion dynamics and suppresses the voltage drop, thus resulting in superior electrochemical performance.

Environmentally stable interface of layered oxide cathodes for sodium-ion batteries.

Project description:Sodium-ion batteries are strategically pivotal to achieving large-scale energy storage. Layered oxides, especially manganese-based oxides, are the most popular cathodes due to their high reversible capacity and use of earth-abundant elements. However, less noticed is the fact that the interface of layered cathodes always suffers from atmospheric and electrochemical corrosion, leading to severely diminished electrochemical properties. Herein, we demonstrate an environmentally stable interface via the superficial concentration of titanium, which not only overcomes the above limitations, but also presents unique surface chemical/electrochemical properties. The results show that the atomic-scale interface is composed of spinel-like titanium (III) oxides, enhancing the structural/electrochemical stability and electronic/ionic conductivity. Consequently, the interface-engineered electrode shows excellent cycling performance among all layered manganese-based cathodes, as well as high-energy density. Our findings highlight the significance of a stable interface and, moreover, open opportunities for the design of well-tailored cathode materials for sodium storage.The interface of layered cathodes for sodium ion batteries is subject to atmospheric and electrochemical corrosions. Here, the authors demonstrate an environmentally stable interface via titanium enriched surface reconstruction in a layered manganese-based oxide.

Surface Coupling between Mechanical and Electric Fields Empowering Ni-Rich Cathodes with Superior Cyclabilities for Lithium-Ion Batteries.

Project description:Ni-rich cathodes with high energy densities are considered as promising candidates for advanced lithium-ion batteries, whereas their commercial application is in dilemma due to dramatic capacity decay and poor structure stability stemmed from interfacial instability, structural degradation, and stress-strain accumulation, as well as intergranular cracks. Herein, a piezoelectric LiTaO3 (LTO) layer is facilely deposited onto Li[Nix Coy Mn1- x - y ]O2 (x = 0.6, 0.8) cathodes to induce surface polarized electric fields via the intrinsic stress-strain of Ni-rich active materials, thus modulating interfacial Li+ kinetics upon cycling. Various characterizations indicate that the electrochemical performances of LTO-modified cathodes are obviously enhanced even under large current density and elevated temperature. Intensive explorations from in situ X-ray diffraction technique, finite element analysis, and first-principle calculation manifest that the improvement mechanism of LTO decoration can be attributed to the enhanced structural stability of bulk material, suppressed stress accumulation, and regulated ion transportation. These findings provide deep insight into surface coupling strategy between mechanical and electric fields to regulate the interfacial Li+ kinetics behavior and enhance structure stability for Ni-rich cathodes, which will also arouse great interest from scientists and engineers in multifunctional surface engineering for electrochemical systems.
