Title: Fast Charge Induced Phase Evolution and Element Contribution of Nickel-Rich Layered Cathode for Lithium-Ion Batteries

Abstract

In nickel-rich layered cathode materials, three transition metals (TM = Ni, Co and Mn) play critical roles in Li storage performance. However, rate-dependent phase evolution and elemental contribution of nickel-rich cathode materials are not well understood, but very important for further design and development of these cathodes in high-power applications. Here, the rate-dependent phase evolution and elemental contribution of LiNi0.5Mn0.3Co0.2O2 (NMC532) cathode are investigated thoroughly by using time-resolved synchrotron-based in situ X-ray diffraction and absorption techniques. The increase of Ni content in NMC532 has been found to be the main cause of the complex structural changes, resulting in distortion of TM-O6 octahedron and strong static vibration between TM and O coordination. It is revealed that the fast charge (10C and 30C) of NMC532 leads to intermediate Li-poor phases, shrinking of H2 phase region, and prolonged O1 phase. During high-rate charging, Co is oxidized easily in low voltage region, while Ni mainly dominates charge compensation in high voltage region. It is found that delithiation-induced local structure distortion transfers from Ni to Co sites in fast kinetic process. In conclusion, these findings provide in-depth understanding for the fast charge behavior of Ni-rich layered cathode materials and help to guide further development ofmore » advanced high-power lithium-ion batteries.« less
