Li(Mn_1/3Ni_1/3Co_1/3)O₂ cathode materials were fabricated by a hydroxide precursor method. Al₂O₃ was coated on the surface of the Li(Mn_1/3Ni_1/3Co_1/3)O₂ through a simple and effective one-step electrostatic self-assembly method.

Reversible Anionic Redox Activities in Conventional LiNi1/3Co1/3Mn1/3O2 Cathodes

Redox reactions of oxygen have been considered critical in controlling the electrochemical properties of lithium‐excessive layered‐oxide electrodes. However, conventional electrode materials without overlithiation remain the most practical. Typically, cationic redox reactions are believed to dominate the electrochemical processes in conventional electrodes. Herein, we show unambiguous evidence of reversible anionic redox reactions in LiNi_1/3Co_1/3Mn_1/3O₂. The typical involvement of oxygen through hybridization with transition metals is discussed, as well as the intrinsic oxygen redox process at high potentials, which is 75 % reversible during initial cycling and 63 % retained after 10 cycles. Our results clarify the reaction mechanism at high potentials in conventional layered electrodes involving both cationic and anionic reactions and indicate the potential of utilizing reversible oxygen redox reactions in conventional layered oxides for high‐capacity lithium‐ion batteries.

The reactivity of delithiated Li(Ni1/3Co1/3Mn1/3)O2, Li(Ni0.8Co0.15Al0.05)O2 or LiCoO2 with non-aqueous electrolyte

The high temperature reactions of 1 M LiPF₆ EC:DEC and LiCoO₂, Li(Ni_1/3Co_1/3Mn_1/3)O₂ (NCM) or Li(Ni_0.8Co_0.15Al_0.05)O₂ (NCA) charged to 4.2 V and 4.4 V, respectively, were studied by accelerating rate calorimetry (ARC). The results indicate that NCM shows better thermal stability than both LiCoO₂ and NCA. The state-of-the-art NCA sample shows better safety properties than LiCoO₂. The reactivity of the samples depends on the electrolyte:active material ratio used during ARC testing. Electrode materials charged to 4.4 V are more reactive than the electrode materials charged to 4.2 V.

Thermal Behavior Investigation of LiNi1/3Co1/3Mn1/3O2-Based Li-ion Battery under Overcharged Test

Thermal behavior of its components such as separator, electrolyte, cathode, anode, and each binder were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry and thermal gravimetric (DSC/TG) to explain thermal runaway mechanism of Li‐ion battery under overcharged test. DSC results indicated the decomposition reaction temperature of SEI (solid electrolyte interface) layer in anode was at about 126°C. It was found that heat generation in anode under normal charged state increased obviously with the increasing of charged voltage. When the battery was overcharged to 4.6 V or 5.0 V, the onset temperature and heat generation of thermal reaction in anode changed a little, while those in cathode had large increase. It was proposed that thermal behavior in cathode mainly caused by the reaction of electrolyte with evolutional oxygen played a key role to thermal runaway for the studied Li‐ion battery under overcharged test.

Effect of Various Synthesis methods on the Electrochemical Properties of LiNi1/3Co1/3Mn1/3O2

Layered LiNi1/3Co1/3Mn1/3O2 has the isostructure of α-NaFeO2 and shows high rate capacity with stable cycleability. Furthermore, the thermal behavior of this material is milder than that of lithium nickel oxide and lithium cobalt oxide. In addition, it is expected to be stable at elevated temperatures. Therefore LiNi1/3Co1/3Mn1/3O2 may be the most promising cathode materials of lithium-ion secondary battery.In this research, LiNi1/3Co1/3Mn1/3O2 was prepared by solid-state reaction, sol-gel method and mixed hydroxide method. The influences of synthesis method on the physical and electrochemical properties of LiNi1/3Co1/3Mn1/3O2 were characterized by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), scanning electron microscope (SEM), charge/discharge cycling cyclic voltammetry and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). XPS studies show that the predominant oxidation states of Ni, Co and Mn in the LiNi1/3Co1/3Mn1/3O2 compound are 2+, 3+ and 4+. From the voltage profile and cyclic voltammetry, the redox processes occurring at ～3.8V and ～4.5V are assigned to the Ni2+/Ni3+ and Co3+/Co4+ couples, respectively. Different preparation methods result in the difference in morphology (shape, particle size and specific surface area) and electrochemical behaviors. A sample prepared by solid-state reaction has the worst electrochemical performance among these three methods. Sample synthesized by mixed hydroxide method displays the better rate capacity than that prepared by sol-gel method, while the capacity retention of sample prepared by sol-gel method is superior to that synthesized by mixed hydroxide method.
