Lithium and transition metal dissolution due to aqueous processing in lithium-ion battery cathode active materials

Journal Article Hawley, William Blake ; Parejiya, Anand Vasudevbhai ; Bai, Yaocai ; ... - Journal of Power Sources

Enabling aqueous processing for lithium-ion battery cathodes is essential as solvents like N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) are expensive, hazardous, and being phased out of usage around the world. Using water as a solvent can reduce electrode manufacturing cost and environmental impact, but it presents unique challenges for cathodes such as Li and transition metal dissolution from the active material and current collector corrosion. In this study, the suitability of aqueous processing for five cathode active materials is evaluated, specifically: LiCoO₂ (LCO), LiFePO₄ (LFP), LiMn₂O₄ (LMO), LiNi_0.80Co_0.15Al_0.05O₂ (NCA), and LiNi_0.5Mn_0.3Co_0.2O₂ (NMC532). After three days of water exposure, NCA and NMC532 exhibit significantly greatermore »« less

Effect of transition metal composition on electrochemical performance of nickel-manganese-based lithium-rich layer-structured cathode materials in lithium-ion batteries

Journal Article Konishi, Hiroaki ; Gunji, Akira ; Feng, Xiaoliang ; ... - Journal of Solid State Chemistry

To evaluate the effect of transition metal composition on the electrochemical properties of Li-rich layer-structured cathode materials, Li{sub 1.2}Ni{sub x}Mn{sub 0.8−x}O{sub 2} (x=0.2, 0.25, 0.3, and 0.4) were synthesized, and their electrochemical properties were investigated. As nickel content x increased in Li{sub 1.2}Ni{sub x}Mn{sub 0.8−x}O{sub 2} (x=0.2, 0.25, 0.3, and 0.4), charge-discharge capacities at a low C-rate (0.05 C) decreased. The results obtained by dQ/dV curves indicate that, as the nickel content increased, the discharge capacity below 3.6 V greatly decreased, but that above 3.6 V increased. As the C-rate of the discharge process increased, the discharge reaction of Li{submore »« less
