Bulk fatigue induced by surface reconstruction in layered Ni-rich cathodes for Li-ion batteries

Chao Xu et al.

Summary: A structure-driven degradation mechanism is proposed for Ni-rich layered cathode material NMC811, in which a proportion of the material exhibits a lowered accessible state of charge and becomes fatigued after repetitive cycling. This degradation is attributed to high interfacial lattice strain between the reconstructed surface and the bulk layered structure above a distinct threshold.

Quantitatively analyzing the failure processes of rechargeable Li metal batteries

Yuxuan Xiang et al.

Summary: The practical use of lithium metal in high-energy density lithium metal batteries is hindered by the continuous formation of lithium dendrites and irreversibly formed solid electrolyte interfaces (SEIs). By combining operando nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy with ex situ titration gas chromatography (TGC) and mass spectrometry titration (MST) techniques, a solid foundation for quantifying the evolution of dead lithium metal and SEI separately has been established. The existence of LiH has been identified, causing deviations in the quantification results of dead lithium metal obtained by these techniques. Quantitative studies on the formation of inactive lithium under different operating conditions have revealed a general two-stage failure process for lithium metal.
