Synthesis of Ni-Rich Thin-Film Cathode as Model System for Lithium Ion Batteries
Abstract
We demonstrate a process to prepare model electrodes of the Ni-rich layered compound LiNi0.6Mn0.2Co0.2O2. These thin-film cathodes are compared with the composite materials to demonstrate the system is a viable platform for isolating interfacial phenomena between the electrolyte and active material without the influence of binders and conductive additives. The appropriate choice of heterolayers was found to influence the preferential orientation of the (101) and (104) planes relative to the (003) plane of the layered R-3m crystal structure, enhancing Li+ diffusion and improving electrochemical performance. The addition of a Co interlayer between the Pt current collecting layer and alumina substrate increased the (101) and (104) texturing of the 500 nm Ni-rich film and allowed cells to deliver greater than 50% of their theoretical capacity. This work provides an architecture for isolating complex mechanisms of active materials that suffer from surface reconstruction and degradation in electrochemical cells.
