Layered LiNi1-xCoxO2 is one of the promising cathode materials for Li-ion battery application. However, the Ni rich cathode materials exhibit low capacity and bad capacity retention. This is due to factors such as disorder and structural instability when Li is removed during charge-discharge. Overlithiation of cathode materials is expected to improve the cation ordering and structural stability. Good cation ordering will increase the battery capacity. During charge-discharge, the irreversible Li+ loss can be replaced to a certain extent by the interstitial Li+ ions in the lattice of the LixNi0.8Co0.2O2 material. This helps reduce capacity fading of the cathode materials. In this work the overlithiation of LiNi0.8Co0.2O2 is done by interstitially doping Li+ in the LiNi0.8Co0.2O2 materials producing Li1.05Ni0.8Co0.2O2 and Li1.1Ni0.8Co0.2O2. Results showthat the performance of the overlithiated LiNi0.8Co0.2O2 materials is better than pure LiNi0.8Co0.2O2.

Pure, single-phase and layered LiCo1−xNixO2 materials with good cation ordering are not easy to synthesize. In this work, solid solutions of LiCo1−xNixO2 (x = 0, 0.1, …, 0.9) are synthesized using a self-propagating combustion route and characterized. All the materials are observed to be phase pure giving materials of hexagonal crystal system with R-3m space group. The RIR and R factor values of stoichiometries of LiCo1−xNixO2 (x = 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, and 0.5) show good cation ordering. Their electrochemical properties are investigated by a series of charge-discharge cycling in the voltage range of 3.0 to 4.3 V. It is found that some of the stoichiometries exhibit specific capacities comparable or better than those of LiCoO2, but the voltage plateau is slightly more slopping than that for the LiCoO2 reference material.

AbstractNa-ion cathode materials operating at high voltage with a stable cycling behavior are needed to develop future high-energy Na-ion cells. However, the irreversible oxygen redox reaction at the high-voltage region in sodium layered cathode materials generates structural instability and poor capacity retention upon cycling. Here, we report a doping strategy by incorporating light-weight boron into the cathode active material lattice to decrease the irreversible oxygen oxidation at high voltages (i.e., >4.0 V vs. Na+/Na). The presence of covalent B–O bonds and the negative charges of the oxygen atoms ensures a robust ligand framework for the NaLi1/9Ni2/9Fe2/9Mn4/9O2 cathode material while mitigating the excessive oxidation of oxygen for charge compensation and avoiding irreversible structural changes during cell operation. The B-doped cathode material promotes reversible transition metal redox reaction enabling a room-temperature capacity of 160.5 mAh g−1 at 25 mA g−1 and capacity retention of 82.8% after 200 cycles at 250 mA g−1. A 71.28 mAh single-coated lab-scale Na-ion pouch cell comprising a pre-sodiated hard carbon-based anode and B-doped cathode material is also reported as proof of concept.

Li -rich layer-structured x Li 2 MnO 3 ⋅ (1 - x) LiMO 2 ( M = Mn , Ni , Co , etc.) materials have attracted much attention due to their extraordinarily high reversible capacity as the cathode material in Li -ion batteries. To better understand the nature of this type of materials, this paper reviews history of development of the Li -rich cathode materials, and provides in-depth study on complicated crystal structures and reaction mechanisms during electrochemical charge/discharge cycling. Despite the fabulous capability at low rate, several drawbacks still gap this type of high-capacity cathode materials from practical applications, for instance the large irreversible capacity loss at first cycle, poor rate capability, severe voltage decay and capacity fade during electrochemical charge/discharge cycling. This review will also address mechanisms for these inferior properties and propose various possible solutions to solve above issues for future utilization of these cathode materials in commercial Li -ion batteries.
