Reactive boride infusion stabilizes Ni-rich cathodes for lithium-ion batteries

Moonsu Yoon et al.

Summary: The use of engineered polycrystalline electrodes in lithium-ion batteries is crucial for cycling stability and safety, but achieving high-quality coatings at both the primary and secondary particle levels can be challenging. A coating-and-infusion approach using cobalt boride metallic glass on a Ni-rich layered cathode has been shown to significantly enhance performance, including rate capability and cycling stability under various conditions. The success of this approach is attributed to the simultaneous suppression of microstructural degradation and side reactions, as well as the critical role of strong selective interfacial bonding in ensuring uniform reactive wetting and facilitating infusion.
