The present work addresses the issues related to the capacity fading of spinel LiMn2O4, such as Mn leaching and Jahn–Teller distortion and suggests an advanced TiN-coated LiAl0.1Mn1.9O4 (LAMO) cathode material as an electrode for lithium-ion batteries. TiN coating layers with the same thickness but a different porosity cover the LiAl0.1Mn1.9O4 electrode via reactive magnetron sputtering, and present promising electrochemical behavior. In contrast with the pristine LiAl0.1Mn1.9O4, the dense TiN-coated LiAl0.1Mn1.9O4 electrode demonstrates a remarkable long-term cycling by reducing the contact area of the electrode/electrolyte interface, resulting in structure stabilization.

ABSTRACTNi and Co K-edge X-ray absorption spectra of LiNi0.8Co0.2O2 have been collected using in situ coin cells. To investigate the electronic and structural changes accompanied by the capacity fading during electrochemical cycling and keeping batteries at high temperatures, the cells with different cycling states and keeping conditions (temperature, time) were prepared. Upon charging the cell, the Ni and Co K absorption edge shifted towards higher energy, and the good correlation between the range of chemical shifts upon charging and the capacity of the cell was observed. From quantitative analysis of EXAFS data, it was revealed that the capacity fading is closely related to the Jahn-Teller distortion of the NiO6 octahedron.

ABSTRACTLiMn2O4 has a phase transition at room temperature, which is caused by Jahn-Teller distortion. DC resistivity of LiMn2O4 shows an anomaly at the transition temperature, while no such anomaly is observed in samples with excess lithium. X-ray diffraction patterns of LiMn2O4reveal that the crystal structure changes from cubic at higher temperature to orthorombic, as a first approximation, at lower temperature. However, no differences in initial charge-discharge curve are observed, which means that the Jahn-Teller distortion has no effect on electrochemical characteristics. The authors have succeeded in mass-producing lithium ion secondary batteries with a manganese spinel cathode.

Abstract Historically long accepted to be the singular root cause of capacity fading, transition metal dissolution has been reported to severely degrade the anode. However, its impact on the cathode behavior remains poorly understood. Here we show the correlation between capacity fading and phase/surface stability of an LiMn2O4 cathode. It is revealed that a combination of structural transformation and transition metal dissolution dominates the cathode capacity fading. LiMn2O4 exhibits irreversible phase transitions driven by manganese(III) disproportionation and Jahn-Teller distortion, which in conjunction with particle cracks results in serious manganese dissolution. Meanwhile, fast manganese dissolution in turn triggers irreversible structural evolution, and as such, forms a detrimental cycle constantly consuming active cathode components. Furthermore, lithium-rich LiMn2O4 with lithium/manganese disorder and surface reconstruction could effectively suppress the irreversible phase transition and manganese dissolution. These findings close the loop of understanding capacity fading mechanisms and allow for development of longer life batteries.
