Title: Studies on Relationship Between Structure of Over-Charge State and Thermal Stability for LiNiO(sub 2) Based Cathode Materials

Conference ·
OSTI ID:770786

A synchrotrons x-ray source was used for In Situ x-ray diffraction studies on cathode materials during charge and discharge. Two new cathode materials, LiNi{sub 0.75}Mg{sub 0.125}Ti{sub 0.125}O{sub 2} and LiNi{sub 0.56}Co{sub 0.25}Mg{sub 0.05}Ti{sub 0.05}O{sub 2}, were studied in comparison with LiNiO{sub 2}, and LiCo{sub 0.2}Ni{sub 0.8}O{sub 2}. The relationship between the structural changes and thermal stability at over-charged state has been investigated. For the W time, The thermal stability of these materials are related to their structural changes during charge, especially to the formation of a hexagonal phase H3 with collapsed lattice along ''c'' axis. A hypothesis is proposed that through suppressing the formation of H3 phase when charged above 4.3 V, the thermal stability of the cathode materials can be improved.
