We demonstrate that extensive electrochemical shock–electrochemical cycling induced fracture–occurs due to coherency stresses arising from first order cubic-to-cubic phase transformations in the spinels LiMn₂O₄ and LiMn_1.5Ni_0.5O₄. Electrochemical shock occurs despite the isotropy of the shape changes in these materials. This electrochemical shock mechanism is strongly sensitive to particle size; for LiMn₂O₄ and LiMn_1.5Ni_0.5O₄, fracture can be averted with particle sizes smaller than ~1 μm. As a further critical test of the proposed mechanism, iron-doping was used to induce continuous solid solubility of lithium in LiMn_1.5Ni_0.5O₄, and shown to virtually avert electrochemical shock, while having minimal impact on the electrode potential and capacity.
