Selective sulfidation of metal compounds by Stinn, Caspar, Allanore, Antoine

“…However, extraction of these d- and f- block metals from mineral and recycled streams is thermodynamically difficult, typically requiring complete dissolution of the materials, followed by liquid-liquid separation using metal ion complexing or chelating behavior4,5. The similar electronic structure of these metals results in poor separation factors, necessitating immense energy, water and chemicals consumption6–8. …”

The role of Ni and Co in suppressing O-loss in Li-rich layered cathodes by Boivin, E, Guerrini, N, House, R, Lozano, J, Jin, L, Rees, G, Somerville, J, Kuss, C, Roberts, M, Bruce, P

“…Understanding the factors that determine the degree of reversible O‐redox versus irreversible O‐loss is important if Li‐rich cathodes are to be exploited in next generation lithium‐ion batteries. Here it is shown that the almost complete eradication of O‐loss with Ni substitution is due to the presence of a less Li‐rich, more Ni‐rich (nearer stoichiometric) rocksalt shell at the surface of the particles compared with the bulk, which acts as a self‐protecting layer against O‐loss. …”

First cycle voltage hysteresis in Li-rich 3d cathodes associated with molecular O2 trapped in the bulk by House, RA, Rees, G, Perez-Osorio, M, Marie, J-J, Boivin, E, Robertson, A, Nag, A, Garcia-Fernandez, M, Zhou, K-J, Bruce, P

“…Li-rich cathode materials are potential candidates for next-generation Li-ion batteries. However, they exhibit a large voltage hysteresis on the first charge/discharge cycle, which involves a substantial (up to 1 V) loss of voltage and therefore energy density. …”
