Li8MnO6: A Novel Cathode Material with Only Anionic Redox
Abstract
In Li-excess transition-metal-oxide cathode materials, anionic oxygen redox can offer high capacity and high voltages, although peroxo and superoxo species may cause oxygen loss, poor cycling performance, and capacity fading. Previous work showed that undesirable formation of peroxide and superoxide bonds is controlled to some extent by Mn substitution, and the present work uses density functional calculations to examine the reasons for this by studying the anionic redox mechanism Li8MnO6. This material is obtained by substituting Mn for Sn in Li8SnO6 or for Zr in Li8ZrO6, and we also compare to previous work on those materials. The calculations predict that Li8MnO6 is stable at room temperature (with a band gap of 3.19 eV as calculated HSE06 and 1.82 eV as calculated with the less reliable with PBE+U), and they elucidate the chemical and structural effects involved in the inhibition of oxygen release in this cathode. Throughout the whole delithiation process, only O2- ions are oxidized. The directional Mn-O bonds formed from unfilled 3d orbitals effectively inhibit the formation of O-O bonds, and the layered structure is maintained even after removing 3 Li per Li8MnO6 formula unit. The calculated average voltage for removal of 3 Li is 3.69 V by HSE06,more »

The calculated average voltage for removal of 3 Li is 3.69 V by HSE06, and the corresponding capacity is 389 mAh/g. The high voltage of oxygen anionic redox and the high capacity result in a high energy density of 1436 Wh/kg. The Li-ion diffusion barrier for the dominant interlayer diffusion path along the c-axis is 0.57 eV by PBE+U. Finally, these results help us to understand the oxygen redox mechanism in a new lithium-rich Li8MnO6 cathode material and contribute to the design of high-energy-density lithium-ion-battery cathode materials with favorable electrochemical properties based on anionic oxygen redox.},
