Improving the reversibility of the H2-H3 phase transitions for layered Ni-rich oxide cathode towards retarded structural transition and enhanced cycle stability
Abstract
While the layered Ni-rich LiNixCoyMn1-x-yO2 (0.7<1, 0<0.3) cathode materials are expected to deliver high capacity, their moderate cycle lifetime and thermal stability still hinder practical applications. There's often a tradeoff between high capacity and structure stability since more Li+ ions delithiated during charging will leave the structure of the layered Ni-rich materials more vulnerable. In this report, we propose that improving the reversibility of H2-H3 phase transition for Ni-rich materials is effective to tackle this challenge. It has been confirmed that the generation of microcracks and structural transformations have been suppressed since the H2-H3 phase transition becomes reversible, while which shows little effect on capacity delivery. Consequently, using Ni-rich LiNi0.9Co0.1O2 as the cathode material, the 100th capacity retention cycling at 38mAg-1 has been improved remarkably from 69.7% to 97.9% by adopting this strategy. Hence, it should be a novel solution to realize both high capacity and stable cyclability for the Ni-rich cathodes.
