Improving the Electrochemical Performance and Structural Stability of LiNi0.8Co0.15Al0.05O2 Cathode Material at High Voltage Charging through Ti Substitution
Abstract
LiNi0.8Co0.15Al0.05O2 (NCA) has been proven to be a good cathode material for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), especially in electric vehicle applications. Yet, further elevating energy density of NCA is very challenging. To increase the charging voltage of NCA is an effective method, but its structural instability remains a problem. In this research, we revealed that titanium substitution could improve cycle stability of NCA under high cut-off voltage significantly. Titanium ions with a relatively larger ion radius could modify the oxygen lattice and change the local coordination environment of NCA, leading to decreased cation migration, better kinetic and thermodynamic properties, and improved structural stability. As a result, Ti-substituted NCA cathode exhibits impressive reversible capacity (198 mA h g-1 at 0.1 C) with considerable cycle stability under a cut-off voltage up to 4.7 V. It is also revealed that Ti could suppress oxygen release in high voltage region, benefitting to cycle and thermal stability. This work provides valuable insight into the design of high voltage layered cathode materials for high-energy-density LIBs.
