Stabilized Co-Free Li-Rich Oxide Cathode Particles with An Artificial Surface Prereconstruction
Abstract
Li-rich metal oxide (LXMO) cathodes have attracted intense interest for rechargeable batteries because of their high capacity above 250 mAh g–1. However, the side effects of hybrid anion and cation redox (HACR) reactions, such as oxygen release and phase collapse that result from global oxygen migration (GOM), have prohibited the commercialization of LXMO. GOM not only destabilizes the oxygen sublattice in cycling, aggravating the well-known voltage fading, but also intensifies electrolyte decomposition and Mn dissolution, causing severe full-cell performance degradation. In this study, an artificial surface prereconstruction (ASR) for Li1.2Mn0.6Ni0.2O2 particles with a molten-molybdate leaching is conducted, which creates a crystal-dense anion-redox-free LiMn1.5Ni0.5O4 shell that completely encloses the LXMO lattice (ASR-LXMO). Differential electrochemical mass spectroscopy and soft X-ray absorption spectroscopy analyses demonstrate that GOM is shut down in cycling, which not only stabilizes HACR in ASR-LXMO, but also mitigates the electrolyte decomposition and Mn dissolution. ASR-LXMO displays greatly stabilized cycling performance as it retains 237.4 mAh g–1 with an average discharge voltage of 3.30 V after 200 cycles. More crucially, while the pristine LXMO cycling cannot survive 90 cycles in a pouch full-cell matched with a commercial graphite anode and lean (2 g A–1 h–1) electrolyte, ASR-LXMO shows high capacitymore »
