Correlation of aluminum doping and lithiation temperature with electrochemical performance of LiNi1-xAlxO2 cathode material

Juho Valikangas et al.

Summary: This article presents a process for producing LiNi1-xAlxO2 (0 < x < 0.05) cathode material with high capacity and enhanced cycle properties. The cathode material is prepared by mixing coprecipitated Ni(OH)(2) with LiOH and Al(OH)(3), followed by lithiation and washing process. The electrochemical performance and structure changes of the cathode material are investigated through full-cell and half-cell applications, as well as different material characterization methods.

Investigation of the structure and ionic conductivity of a Li3InCl6 modified by dry room annealing for solid-state Li-ion battery applications

Palanivel Molaiyan et al.

Summary: Progress in new sustainable technologies relies on the development of battery materials that are safer, low-cost, and have higher energy density. The use of halide solid electrolytes (HSEs) has shown promise due to their high ionic conductivity, deformability, and oxidative stability. This study investigates the synthesis of Li3InCl6 (LIC) HSEs using ball-milling followed by dry room annealing, and analyzes the crystal structure, particle size, and ionic conductivity of the material. The research also explores the lithium diffusion in the LIC samples using pulsed-field gradient and relaxation time NMR measurements.

Understanding the Insight Mechanism of Chemical-Mechanical Degradation of Layered Co-Free Ni-Rich Cathode Materials: A Review

Hang Li et al.

Summary: Layered Cobalt (Co)-free Nickel (Ni)-rich cathode materials have high energy density and low cost, but their further development is hindered by material instability. Although there are numerous approaches to improve the stability of these materials, they are still in the laboratory stage and require further research for commercial application. Understanding the phase transition mechanism and addressing crystal structure degradation and interfacial instability are important for the development of Co-free Ni-rich materials.

Degradation Pathways of Cobalt-Free LiNiO2 Cathode in Lithium Batteries

Ruijun Pan et al.

Summary: Electrode-electrolyte reactivity (EER) is found to have a greater impact on the cycling stability of LiNiO2 cathodes than particle cracking (PC) in lithium-based batteries. EER leads to primary particle cracking but mitigates secondary particle cracking due to the inhibition of H2-H3 phase transformation. The surface degradation pathways of cycled LiNiO2 are identified under low and high EER conditions, revealing the formation of an electrochemically-inactive SRL with Ni3O4 and NiO phases under high EER and an electrochemically-active SRL with LiNi2O4 phase under low EER.

Zezhou Guo et al.

Summary: High-nickel layered oxide cathodes and lithium-metal anode with localized high-concentration electrolytes (LHCEs) show desirable performance in terms of Coulombic efficiency and capacity retention. The stable cell operation is attributed to well-tuned electrode-electrolyte interphases and Li deposition morphology. The study provides insights into the role of diluents in LHCEs and offers valuable guidance for further optimization of high energy density lithium-metal batteries.
