Ni-rich cathode materials have garnered significant attention attributable to the high reversible capacity and superior rate performance, particularly in the electric vehicle industry. However, the structural degradation experienced during cycling results in rapid capacity decay and deterioration of the rate performance, thereby impeding the widespread application of Ni-rich cathodes. Herein, a Mg/Ti co-doping strategy was developed to boost the structure stability and Li-ion transport kinetics of the Ni-rich cathode material LiNiCoMnO (NCM9055) under long cycle. It is demonstrated that the Mg ions inserted into the lithium layer could serve as pillars, enhancing the stability of the delithiated layer structure. The introduction of robust Ti-O bonding mitigated the detrimental H2-H3 phase transition (∼4.2 V) during cycling. In addition, despite the fact that Mg/Ti co-doping slightly reduces Li diffusion coefficient in the modified cathode material (NCM9055-MT), it effectively stabilized the robustness of the layered structure and maintained the Li diffusion channel while charging and discharging, thereby improving the Li diffusion coefficient after a long cycle. Therefore, the Mg/Ti co-doped cathode materials exhibited an exceptional capacity retention rate of 99.9% (100 cycles, 1 C). Additionally, the Li diffusion coefficient of the co-doped NCM9055-MT (2.924 × 10 cm s) after 100 cycles was effectively enhanced compared with the case of undoped NCM9055 (4.806 × 10 cm s). This work demonstrates that the Mg/Ti co-doping approach effectively enhanced the stability of layered Ni-rich cathode materials.

Electrolyte additive engineering enables the creation of long-lasting interfacial layers that protect electrodes, thus extending the lifetime of high-energy lithium-ion batteries employing Ni-rich Li[NiCoMn]O (NCM) cathodes. However, batteries face various limitations if existing additives are employed alone without an appropriate combination. Herein, the study reports the development of a molecular-engineered salt-type multifunctional additive, lithium bis(phosphorodifluoridate) triethylammonium ethenesulfonate (LiPENS), that leverages the different functionalities of phosphorous, nitrogen, and sulfur-embedded motifs, as well as the classical additive vinylene carbonate (VC), to construct protective interfacial layers.

Nickel-rich layered oxide with high reversible capacity and high working potentials is a prevailing cathode for high-energy-density all-solid-state lithium batteries (ASSLBs). However, compared to the liquid battery system, ASSLBs suffer from poor Li-ion migration kinetics, severe side reactions, and undesired formation of space charge layers, which result in restricted capacity release and limited rate capability. In this work, we reveal that the capacity loss lies in the H2-H3 phase transition period, and we propose that the inconsistent interfacial Li-ion migration is the arch-criminal.

Structural engineering of full concentration gradient (FCG) offers promising prospects for improving the interface and thermal stability of Ni-rich layered cathodes. However, the Ni content in the core of FCG cathode particle is higher than that on the surface, resulting in rapid structural deterioration at the particle core during cycling. To directionally strengthen the structural stability at the cores of FCG cathode particles, this study proposes a dual-cation targeted co-doping strategy that coordinates gradient Al doping with uniform Na doping.

The traditional liquid electrolytes pose safety hazards primarily attributed to the flammability of organic solvent, whereas solid-state electrolytes can significantly enhance the safety of lithium-ion batteries. Polymer solid electrolytes are being considered as an effective solution due to their excellent flexibility and low cost, but they suffer low ionic conductivity or high interface impedance. Here, the ketone-containing allyl acetoacetate monomers were polymerized within the cellulose membrane via UV photopolymerization to prepare a cellulose-supported poly-allyl acetoacetate polymer electrolyte.
