Li-rich layered oxide materials are considered promising candidates for high-capacity cathodes for battery applications and improving the reversibility of the anionic redox reaction is the key to exploiting the full capacity of these materials. However, permanent structural change of the electrode occurring upon electrochemical cycling results in capacity and voltage decay. In view of these factors, Ti -substituted Li IrO (Li Ir Ti O ) is synthesized, which undergoes an oxygen redox reaction with suppressed voltage decay, yielding improved electrochemical performance and good capacity retention. It is shown that the increased bond covalency upon Ti substitution results in structural stability, tuning the phase stability from O3 to O1' upon de-lithiation during charging compared with O3 to T3 and O1 for pristine Li IrO , thereby facilitating the oxidation of oxygen. This work unravels the role of Ti in stabilizing the cathode framework, providing insight for a fundamental design approach for advanced Li-rich layered oxide battery materials.

All-solid-state batteries (ASSBs) with a garnet-type solid electrolyte have been considered promising alternatives to traditional batteries with a liquid organic electrolyte, due to their enhanced safety and ability to accommodate high energy density electrodes. In this study, we conducted a comprehensive investigation of the high-temperature chemical compatibility between the garnet-like LiGaLaZrO (Ga-LLZO) electrolyte and high-energy-density Li-rich layered LiNiMnO cathode (LNM). Our findings suggest that a high temperature reaction between the Li-rich cathode and Ga-LLZO occurs at 700-900C depending on the form of reactants.

Anion dimerization poses a significant challenge for the application of Li-rich cathode materials (LCMs) in high-energy-density Li-ion batteries because of its deleterious effects, including rapid capacity and voltage decay, sluggish reaction kinetics, and large voltage hysteresis. Herein, we propose a metal-ligand spin-lock strategy to inhibit anion dimerization, which involves introducing an Fe-Ni couple having antiferromagnetic superexchange interaction into the LCM to lock the spin orientations of the unpaired electrons in the anions in the same direction. As proof of concept, we applied this strategy to intralayer disordered LiTiS (ID-LTS) to inhibit S-S dimerization.

In recent years, a type of layered oxide, LiNi Mn Co O (NMC) where ++ = 1, has become the preferred cathode material for electric vehicle (EV) batteries. Despite some disorder in the crystal structure due to Li/Ni cation mixing, the composition offers a high specific capacity of up to 200 mAh g at 4.3 V vs Li|Li.

The design of cathode/electrolyte interfaces in high-energy density Li-ion batteries is critical to protect the surface against undesirable oxygen release from the cathodes when batteries are charged to high voltage. However, the involvement of the engineered interface in the cationic and anionic redox reactions associated with (de-)lithiation is often ignored, mostly due to the difficulty to separate these processes from chemical/catalytic reactions at the cathode/electrolyte interface. Here, a new electron energy band diagrams concept is developed that includes the examination of the electrochemical- and ionization- potentials evolution upon batteries cycling.
