Insights into Layered Oxide Cathodes for Rechargeable Batteries

Layered intercalation compounds are the dominant cathode materials for rechargeable Li-ion batteries. In this article we summarize in a pedagogical way our work in understanding how the structure’s topology, electronic structure, and chemistry interact to determine its electrochemical performance. We discuss how alkali–alkali interactions within the Li layer influence the voltage profile, the role of the transition metal electronic structure in dictating O3-structural stability, and the mechanism for alkali diffusion. We then briefly delve into emerging, next-generation Li-ion cathodes that move beyond layered intercalation hosts by discussing disordered rocksalt Li-excess structures, a class of materials which may be essential in circumventing impending resource limitations in our era of clean energy technology.     

One-Step Calcination Synthesis of Bulk-Doped Surface-Modified Ni-Rich Cathodes with Superlattice for Long-Cycling Li-Ion Batteries

Nickel-rich (Ni≥90 %) layered cathodes are critical materials for achieving higher-energy-density and lower-cost next-generation Li-ion batteries (LIBs). However, their bulk and interface structural instabilities significantly impair their electrochemical performance, thus hindering their widespread adoption in commercial LIBs. Exploiting Ti and Mo diffusion chemistry, we report one-step calcination to synthesize bulk-to-surface modified LiNi_0.9Co_0.09Mo_0.01O₂ (NCMo90) featuring a 5 nm Li₂TiO₃ coating on the surface, a Mo-rich Li⁺/Ni²⁺ superlattice at the sub-surface, and Ti-doping in the bulk. Such a multi-functional structure effectively maintains its structural integrity upon cycling. As a result, such NCMo90 exhibits a high initial capacity of 221 mAh g⁻¹ at 0.1 C, excellent rate performance (184 mAh g⁻¹ at 5 C), and high capacity retention of 94.0 % after 500 cycles. This work opens a new avenue to developing industry-applicable Ni-rich cathodes for next-generation LIBs.     

Quantifying Degradation Parameters of Single-Crystalline Ni-Rich Cathodes in Lithium-Ion Batteries

Single-crystal LiNi_xCo_yMn_zO₂ (SC-NCM, x+y+z=1) cathodes are renowned for their high structural stability and reduced accumulation of adverse side products during long-term cycling. While advances have been made using SC-NCM cathode materials, careful studies of cathode degradation mechanisms are scarce. Herein, we employed quasi single-crystalline LiNi_0.65Co_0.15Mn_0.20O₂ (SC-NCM65) to test the relationship between cycling performance and material degradation for different charge cutoff potentials. The Li/SC-NCM65 cells showed >77 % capacity retention below 4.6 V vs. Li⁺/Li after 400 cycles and revealed a significant decay to 56 % for 4.7 V cutoff. We demonstrate that the SC-NCM65 degradation is due to accumulation of rock-salt (NiO) species at the particle surface rather than intragranular cracking or side reactions with the electrolyte. The NiO-type layer formation is also responsible for the strongly increased impedance and transition-metal dissolution. Notably, the capacity loss is found to have a linear relationship with the thickness of the rock-salt surface layer. Density functional theory and COMSOL Multiphysics modeling analysis further indicate that the charge-transfer kinetics is decisive, as the lower lithium diffusivity of the NiO phase hinders charge transport from the surface to the bulk.     

Layered Oxide Cathodes Promoted by Crystal Regulation Strategies for Potassium-Ion Batteries

Layered oxide cathodes have demonstrated great potential for potassium-ion batteries (PIBs) on account of high reversible capacity, appropriate diffusion paths, and low cost. However, their electrochemical performance in PIBs is generally worse than that in lithium-ion batteries due to large structural changes and deformations during charging and discharging. To improve their potassium storage performance, a series of strategies have been developed in recent studies. In this review, we summarize the latest advancements in layered oxide cathodes for PIBs through different crystal regulation strategies, including transition metal layer doping, potassium content optimization, oxygen partial substitution, functional morphology construction and air stability improvement. Meanwhile, the relationship between the electrochemical properties and structural evolution of these modified cathodes is also investigated. In addition, the challenges and prospects of these layered oxide cathodes in PIBs are analyzed in detail, providing constructive insights for future applications of PIBs.

Recent Progress of P2-Type Layered Transition-Metal Oxide Cathodes for Sodium-Ion Batteries

Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) have attracted much attention due to their abundance, easy accessibility, and low cost. All of these advantages make them potential candidates for large-scale energy storage. The P2-type layered transition-metal oxides (Na_xTMO₂; TM=Mn, Co, Ni, Ti, Fe, V, Cr, and a mixture of multiple elements) exhibit good Na⁺ ion conductivity and structural stability, which make them an excellent choice for the cathode materials of SIBs. Herein, the structural evolution, anionic redox reaction, some challenges, and recent progress of Na_xTMO₂ cathodes for SIBs are reviewed and summarized. Moreover, a detailed understanding of the relationship of chemical components, structures, phase compositions, and electrochemical performance is presented. This Review aims to provide a reference for the development of P2-type layered transition-metal oxide cathode materials for SIBs.     

High-Entropy Layered Oxide Cathodes for Sodium-Ion Batteries

Material innovation on high-performance Na-ion cathodes and the corresponding understanding of structural chemistry still remain a challenge. Herein, we report a new concept of high-entropy strategy to design layered oxide cathodes for Na-ion batteries. An example of layered O3-type NaNi_0.12Cu_0.12Mg_0.12Fe_0.15Co_0.15Mn_0.1Ti_0.1Sn_0.1Sb_0.04O₂ has been demonstrated, which exhibits the longer cycling stability (ca. 83 % of capacity retention after 500 cycles) and the outstanding rate capability (ca. 80 % of capacity retention at the rate of 5.0 C). A highly reversible phase-transition behavior between O3 and P3 structures occurs during the charge-discharge process, and importantly, this behavior is delayed with more than 60 % of the total capacity being stored in O3-type region. Possible mechanism can be attributed to the multiple transition-metal components in this high-entropy material which can accommodate the changes of local interactions during Na⁺ (de)intercalation. This strategy opens new insights into the development of advanced cathode materials.
