Title: Degradation in Ni-Rich LiNi1–xyMnxCoyO2/Graphite Batteries: Impact of Charge Voltage and Ni Content

Abstract

Ni-rich LiNi1–x–yMnxCoyO2 (NMC) materials are attractive as cathodes for Li-ion batteries due to their high energy density and low Co content. However, these materials may display poor electrochemical reversibility relating to structural and interfacial instabilities. The influence of Ni content and level of delithiation during charge on degradation mechanisms and relevance to electrochemical cycling behavior are probed for LiNi0.6Mn0.2Co0.2O2 (NMC622) and LiNi0.8Mn0.1Co0.1O2 (NMC811) cathode materials in a full cell configuration under two upper voltage limits (4.1 and 4.3 V). The combined use of dQ/dV analysis of electrochemical voltage profiles, operando XRD, and postcycling scanning electron microscopy (SEM) measurements indicates that a major contributor to capacity fade is the large anisotropic volume change from an H2 $$\leftrightarrows$$ H3 phase transition and associated mechanical degradation particularly for NMC811. Notably, transition metal dissolution and deposition on the negative electrode are found to correlate with the structural changes occurring in the cathode under high voltage charge. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analyses of the cycled cathodes reveal a more organic-rich cathode–electrolyte interphase (CEI) when cycling to 4.3 V with lower relative amounts of LiF. Surface reconstruction is not a significant factor under these cycling conditions as determined by soft X-ray absorption spectroscopy (sXAS) analysis. The results emphasize the opportunity to match the electrochemical test parameters with the specific NMC active material to mitigate degradation and extend cycle life.
