Article Synopsis
- Lithium-rich cathodes (LRCs) are promising for boosting the energy density of lithium-ion batteries due to their unique redox behaviors.
- By incorporating carbon nanotubes (CNTs) as additives, the study shows that this helps overcome the slow kinetics of LRCs and enhances the overall battery performance.
- The results indicate that batteries with CNTs have significantly better rate capabilities and durability, maintaining about 89% capacity after more than 200 cycles, also providing insights into a method that could improve other electrode materials.
Although graphite materials with desirable comprehensive properties dominate the anode market of commercial lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), their low capacity during fast charging precludes further commercialization. In the present work, natural graphite (G) is reported not only to suffer from low capacity during fast charging, but also from charge failure after many charging cycles. Using different characterization techniques, severe graphite exfoliation, and continuously increasing solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) are demonstrated as reasons for the failure of G samples.
