Enhancing reversibility of LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 by regulating surface oxygen deficiency
Abstract Oxygen deficiency has crucial effects on the crystal structure and electrochemical performance of spinel oxide lithium electrode materials such as LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 (LNMO) cathode. In particular, the oxygen stoichiometry on the crystal surface differs from that on the crystal interior in LNMO....

| description | Abstract Oxygen deficiency has crucial effects on the crystal structure and electrochemical performance of spinel oxide lithium electrode materials such as LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 (LNMO) cathode. In particular, the oxygen stoichiometry on the crystal surface differs from that on the crystal interior in LNMO. The detection of local oxygen loss in LNMO and its correlation with the crystal structure and the cycling stability of LNMO remain challenging. In this study, the effect of oxygen deficiency in LNMO controlled by sintering temperature on the surface crystal structure and electrochemical performance of LNMO is comprehensively investigated. The high concentration of oxygen vacancies segregates at the surface regions of LNMO forming a thin rock‐salt and/or deficient spinel surface layer. The atomic‐level surface structure reconstruction was demonstrated by annular dark‐field and annular bright‐field techniques. For the synthesis of LNMO, the higher sintering temperature results in higher crystallinity but the higher oxygen deficiency in LNMO. The high crystallinity of LNMO would increase the thermal stability of LNMO cathodes while the high content of oxygen deficiency would decrease the surface structural stability of LNMO. Therefore, the LNMO sintered at a medium temperature of 850°C achieved the best capacity retention. The results suggest a competitive function mechanism between oxygen stoichiometry and the crystallinity of LNMO on the cycling performance of LNMO. |
