Modifying the Surface of a High-Voltage Lithium-Ion Cathode
Abstract
Ni-rich lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxides (LiNixMnyCo1–x–yO2, NMCs) suffer from poor cycling stability at potentials above 4.2 V vs Li/Li+. This degraded cyclability at high potentials has been largely ascribed to the parasitic reactions between the delithiated cathode and the nonaqueous electrolyte. In this study, we mitigated the performance degradation of high-voltage NMC 622 by designing a functional interfacial layer that consists of a surface doping by Ti4+ and a TiO2 coating at the same time. The doping of Ti4+ near the surface of NMC can suppress the irreversible phase transformation, while the TiO2 coating can kinetically reduce the rate of the electron-transfer reaction between the delithiated cathode and the solvent. Furthermore, it is revealed that this interfacial engineering approach significantly enhanced both the cycling stability and the rate performance of NMC 622.
