제목 Boosting Reaction Homogeneity in High-Energy Lithium-Ion Battery Cathode Materials
초록 An intrinsic limitation of polycrystalline nickel-rich cathode materials in high-energy full-cells is discovered under industrial electrode fabrication conditions. Owing to their highly unstable chemo-mechanical properties, even after the first cycle, nickel-rich materials are degraded in the longitudinal direction of the high-energy electrode. This inhomogeneous degradation behavior of nickel-rich materials at the electrode level originates from the overutilization of active materials on the surface side, causing a severe non- uniform potential distribution during long-term cycling. In addition, this phenomenon continuously lowers the reversibility of lithium ions. Consequently, considering the degradation of polycrystalline nickel-rich materials, this study suggests the adoption of a robust single crystalline LiNi0.8Co0.1Mn0.1O2 as a feasible alternative, to effectively suppress the localized overutilization of active materials. Such an adoption, can stabilize the electrochemical performance of high-energy lithium-ion cells, which demonstrates superior capacity retention above ~80% after 1,000 cycles at 45oC.
