Abstract:
High voltage can cost-effectively boost energy density of Ni-rich cathodes based Li-ion batteries (LIBs), but compromises their mechanical, electrochemical and thermal-driven stability. Herein, a collaborative strategy (i.e., small single-crystal design and hetero-atom doping) is devised to construct a chemomechanically reliable small single-crystal Mo-doped LiNi0.6 Co0.2 Mn0.2 O2 (SS-MN6) operating stably under high voltage (≥4.5 V vs. Li/Li+ ). The substantially reduced particle size combined with Mo6+ doping absorbs accumulated localized stress to eradicate cracks formation, subdues the surface side reactions and lattice oxygen missing meanwhile, and improves thermal tolerance at highly delithiated state. Consequently, the SS-MN6 based pouch cells are endowed with striking deep cycling stability and wide-temperature-tolerance capability. The contribution here provides a promising way to construct advanced cathodes with superb chemomechanical stability for next-generation LIBs.
