Article Synopsis
- The study investigates oxygen dimerization in LiNiO lithium ion cathodes during high charge states, using advanced methods for predicting defect structures.
- Findings show that delithiated LiNiO is stable against breaking down into molecular oxygen, yet defects within the material can initiate oxygen dimerization.
- These results provide clarity on previous conflicting reports regarding the formation of bulk molecular oxygen in nickel-rich cathode materials, emphasizing the importance of defect chemistry in material degradation.
