Title: Effect of Morphology and Manganese Valence on the Voltage Fade and Capacity Retention of Li[Li 2/12Ni3/12Mn7/12]O2

Abstract

We have determined the electrochemical characteristics of the high voltage, high capacity Li-ion battery cathode material Li[Li 2/12Ni3/12Mn7/12]O2 prepared using three different synthesis routes: sol-gel, hydroxide co-precipitation, and carbonate co-precipitation. Each route leads to distinct morphologies and surface areas while maintaining the same crystal structures. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) measurements reveal differences in their surface chemistries upon cycling, which correlate with voltage fading. As expected, we observed the valence state of Mn on the surface to decrease upon lithiation, and this reduction is specifically correlated to discharging below 3.6V. Furthermore, the data shows a correlation of the formation of Li2CO3 with Mn oxidation state from the
