Article Abstract

Lithium-rich manganese-based cathode materials Li[LiNiMn]O have received considerable attention. However, severe voltage decay and structural distortion of O3-type layered oxides hinder further practical applications. O2-type layered cathode materials can restrict the movements of transition metals and effectively suppress the voltage decay. However, O2-type layered oxides are fundamentally limited by inferior rate performance. Herein, we introduce cobalt into the TM layer in the O2-type oxide, Li[NiMnCo□]O (□ represents vacancy, O2-LNMCO), which increases the electronic and ionic conductivity, improving the Li diffusion kinetics. Significantly, O2-LNMCO exhibits excellent rate properties, delivering a discharge specific capacity of 145 mAh g at 5 C and 111.6 mAh g at 10 C. Furthermore, the voltage decay of O2-LNMCO was restrained with an attenuation rate of 2.23 mV per cycle.

Li-rich layered oxide (LRLO) cathodes have been regarded as promising candidates for next-generation Li-ion batteries due to their exceptionally high energy density, which combines cationic and anionic redox activities. However, continuous voltage decay during cycling remains the primary obstacle for practical applications, which has yet to be fundamentally addressed. It is widely acknowledged that voltage decay originates from the irreversible migration of transition metal ions, which usually further exacerbates structural evolution and aggravates the irreversible oxygen redox reactions.

The further practical applications of Li-rich layered oxides are impeded by voltage decay and redox asymmetry, which are closely related to the structural degradation involving irreversible transition metal migration. It has been demonstrated that the superstructure ordering in O2-type materials can effectively suppress voltage decay and redox asymmetry. Herein, we elucidate that the absence of this superstructure ordering arrangement in a Ru-based O2-type oxide can still facilitate the highly reversible transition metal migration.

P2-type NaNiMnO has attracted considerable attraction as a cathode material for sodium-ion batteries owing to its high operating voltage and theoretical specific capacity. However, when the charging voltage is higher than 4.2 V, the NaNiMnO cathode undergoes a detrimental irreversible phase transition of P2-O2, leading to a drastic decrease in specific capacity.
