Abstract:
Micron-sized single crystal particles could be used to intensify structural changes between bulk and surface area during the charge-discharge process owing to their long-range order. In this study, the effects of Mn3+ formation-migration and oxygen loss on the structure change from the bulk side to the near surface in single crystalline Li1.2Mn0.54Ni0.13Co0.13O2 were decoupled by regulating the voltage windows of 2-4.5, 3-4.8, and 2-4.8 V because Mn3+ formation-migration and oxygen loss mainly occurred below 3 V and beyond 4.5 V, respectively. It is found that oxygen vacancies and phase transformation can be retarded by suppressing the formation-migration of Mn3+. Finally, we also conducted an important insight that boron ion doping in tetrahedral site could be used to suppress Mn3+ migration from octahedral site to tetrahedral site and disrupt the synergistic effect of Mn3+ migration and oxygen loss.

Crystal Field Theory - Octahedral Complexes
To explain the observed behavior of transition metal complexes (such as colors), a model involving electrostatic interactions between the electrons from the ligands and the electrons in the unhybridized d orbitals of the central metal atom has been developed. This electrostatic model is crystal field theory (CFT). It helps to understand, interpret, and predict the colors, magnetic behavior, and some structures of coordination compounds of transition metals.
