In recent years, nickel-rich LiNi x Co y Mn 1-x-y O 2 (x > 0.6) cathode materials have been widely used in lithium-ion batteries because of their large discharge capacity and low price. However, these materials still undergo severe property degradation in the charge-discharge process, such as voltage reduction and structural transformation, especially at high
In LIBs, lithium is the primary component of the battery due to the lithium-free anode. The properties of the cathode electrode are primarily determined by its conductivity and structural stability. Just like the anode, the cathode must also facilitate the reversible intercalation and deintercalation of Li + ions because diffusivity plays a crucial role in the cathode''s performance.
Single-crystal Li(Ni 0 · 5 Mn 0 · 3 Co 0.2)O 2 (SC-NMC532) was compared with their polycrystalline counterparts (PC-NMC532) in sulfide-based all-solid-state batteries. It is found that SC-NMC532 exhibits a Li + diffusion coefficient of 6–14 times higher than PC-NMC532. Consequently, SC-NMC532 exhibits higher capacity, better rate performance.
A more direct strategy to address grain-boundary fracture is using single-crystal (SC) particles so that internal grain boundaries and inter-granular fracture are eliminated (see schematic illustration in Fig. 1) is also possible to achieve higher electrode compact density (>3.8 g cm −3 for NMC electrodes) with the SC particles because they are less prone to crack
