Reversible anionic redox has rejuvenated the search for high-capacity lithium-ion battery cathodes. Real-world success necessitates holistic mastering of this electrochemistry's kinetics, thermodynamics, and stability. Here we prove oxygen reactivity in archetypical lithium- manganese-rich layered cathodes through bulk-sensitive synchrotron-based spectroscopies, elucidate their complete anionic/cationic charge-compensation mechanism. Furthermore, via various electroanalytical methods, answer...
Li-rich layered oxides, e.g. Li[Li0.20Ni0.13Mn0.54Co0.13]O2 (LR-NMC), lead high energy density Li-ion battery cathodes, thanks to the reversible redox of oxygen anions that boost charge storage capacity. Unfortunately, their commercialization has been stalled by practical issues (i.e. voltage hysteresis, poor rate capability, and fade) hence it is necessary investigate whether these problems are intrinsically inherent anionic its structural consequences. To this end, 'model' oxide...
Cumulative anionic/cationic bulk redox processes lead to the outstanding specific energy (1000 Wh kg–1) of Li-rich Mn-based layered oxides as lithium-ion battery cathodes. Previous attempts quantify in these materials were either limited initial cycles or relied solely on transition metals. It thus remains unclear what extent does oxygen persist over cycling. This study provides an answer via synchrotron-based bulk-sensitive hard X-ray photoemission spectroscopy (HAXPES) by directly...
The demonstration of reversible anionic redox in Li-rich layered oxides has revitalized the search for higher energy battery cathodes. To advance fundamentals this promising mechanism, we investigate herein cationic–anionic processes Li2Ru0.75Sn0.25O3—a model cathode which Ru (cationic) and O (anionic) are only redox-active sites. We reveal its charge compensation mechanism local structural evolutions by applying operando (and complementary ex situ) X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS). Among...
Many investigations have been conducted on polyanion cathodes for lithium-ion batteries, specifically LiMPO4 (M = Fe, Mn, Co, Ni), but a majority were restricted to the olivine polymorph with Pnma space group. This study presents synthesis and characterization of three orthorhombic polymorphs LiCoPO4 belonging groups Pnma, Pn21a, Cmcm. The synthesized microwave-assisted solvothermal (MW-ST) method at relatively low temperature 260 °C. properties morphology materials characterized X-ray...
Electrical and ionic conductivity has proven to be a major limiting factor in the adoption of high-voltage polyanion cathode materials, specifically LiMPO4 (M = Mn, Co, Ni). While aliovalent substitution V3+ for Fe2+ LiFePO4 been shown recently, no conclusive evidence is available substitutions analogous LiCoPO4. This study presents low-temperature microwave-assisted solvothermal synthesis characterization aliovalently substituted LiCo1–3x/2Vx□x/2PO4 x ≤ 0.07. The as synthesized samples...
Lithium transition-metal phosphates, LiMPO4 (M = Mn, Fe, Co, and Ni), have attracted significant research interest over the past two decades as an important class of lithium ion battery cathode materials. However, almost all investigations thus far focused on olivine polymorph that exists in orthorhombic Pnma space group. In this study, a distinct but non-olivine LiMPO4, described by Cmcm group symmetry, has been synthesized with M Ni. Of these, LiMnPO4 is reported for first time. A rapid...

The α- and β-Li2IrO3 polymorphs were recently studied in view of their anionic redox capabilities that triggered by full Li removal. Herein, we solely focused on the reacting mechanism involved during first reversible removal (Li2IrO3 → LiIrO3). We found charge discharge processes show significant deviations from equilibrium potential especially with appearance a peculiar low-voltage feature increasing current. Through detailed electrochemical experiments, such as rate dependence relaxation,...
