With the advantages of high energy density and low manufacture cost, lithium-rich layered oxides (LLOs), typically with a layered O3-type structure, are regarded as promising cathodes for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), but their broad usages are hindered by severe voltage decay over cycling. Although recent progress in O2-type LLOs has aroused interest for their less voltage decay, the critical barrier of unsatisfactory capacity retention has not been overcome yet. In this work, to tackle these handicaps, we design a new type of LLO (O2/O3-type LLO) with a homogeneous hybrid structure, where the O2 and O3 lattice stacking sequences are arranged alternatively. Benefitting from this novel O2/O3 hybrid structure, the designed material shows greatly improved voltage and capacity stability than that of pure O2- and O3-type LLOs. Revealed by in-situ synchrotron X-ray diffraction and operando differential electrochemical mass spectra, the O2/O3-hybrid LLO cathode shows a more reversible structural evolution, smaller volume change and suppressed oxygen loss during the electrochemical processes. Our approach has initiated a new way to reduce the capacity and voltage decay of LLOs, which endows great promise to the development of high-energy-density LIBs.
