Li -rich layer-structured x Li 2 MnO 3 ⋅ (1 - x) LiMO 2 ( M = Mn , Ni , Co , etc.) materials have attracted much attention due to their extraordinarily high reversible capacity as the cathode material in Li -ion batteries. To better understand the nature of this type of materials, this paper reviews history of development of the Li -rich cathode materials, and provides in-depth study on complicated crystal structures and reaction mechanisms during electrochemical charge/discharge cycling. Despite the fabulous capability at low rate, several drawbacks still gap this type of high-capacity cathode materials from practical applications, for instance the large irreversible capacity loss at first cycle, poor rate capability, severe voltage decay and capacity fade during electrochemical charge/discharge cycling. This review will also address mechanisms for these inferior properties and propose various possible solutions to solve above issues for future utilization of these cathode materials in commercial Li -ion batteries.

AbstractRecent advances in mixed metal oxide (LiNi1−xCoxO2) cathode materials for lithium ion (Li-ion) batteries have resulted in a new generation of high capacity cathode materials. High capacity materials are particularly useful for applications where either volume or weight is limited, such as in space applications. These applications also benefit from cell chemistries with high energy efficiency as this permits reduced ancillary energy storage and dissipation apparatus. Mixed metal oxide materials have been evaluated and demonstrated in prismatic Li-ion cells. The capacity of the mixed metal oxide materials is exceptional, reversible capacity of 160mAh/g is demonstrated although the cell voltage is lower than when LiCoO2 materials are used, 3.58V vs. 3.74V, at low (0.5mA/cm2) discharge rates. The high capacity results in a significant improvement in specific energy, further, the sloping discharge curve characteristic of the mixed metal oxide materials facilitates determination of the state of charge based on cell voltage. The design of composite cathode materials using the mixed metal oxide materials has a significant influence on the cell impedance and the rate capability of the material. Results describing the rate capability of these materials is presented.

Ninety percent of the energy produced today come from fossil fuels, making dramatically negative impact on our future due to rapid consumption of these energy sources, ecological damage and climate change. This justifies development of the renewable energy sources and concurrently efficient large storage devices capable to replace fossil fuels. Li-ion batteries have originally been developed for portable electronic devices, but nowadays new application niches are envisaged in electric vehicles and stationary energy storages. However, to satisfy the needs of these rapidly growing applications, Li-ion batteries require further significant improvement of their properties: capacity and power, cyclability, safety and cost. Cathode is the key part of the Li-ion batteries largely determining their performance. Severe requirements are imposed on a cathode material, which should provide fast reversible intercalation of Li-ions at redox potential close to the upper boundary of electrolyte stability window, possess relatively low molecular weight and exhibit small volume variation upon changing Li-concentration. First generation of the cathode materials for the Li-ion batteries based on the spinel (LiM2O4, M – transition metal) or rock-salt derivatives (LiMO2) has already been widely commercialised. However, the potential to further improve the performance of these materials is almost exhausted. The compounds, containing lithium and transition metal cations together with different polyanions (XmOn)p- (X=B, P, S, Si), are now considered as the most promising cathode materials for the next generation of the Li-ion batteries. Covalently-bonded structural frameworks in these compounds offer long-term structural stability, which is essential for good cyclability and safety. Further advantages are expected from combining different anions (such as (XO4)p- and F- ) in the anion sublattice, with the hope to enhance the specific energy and power of these materials. Various fluoride-phosphates and fluoride-sulphates have been recently discovered, and some of them exhibit attractive electrochemical performance. An overview of the research on the cathode materials for the Li-ion batteries will be presented with special emphasis on crystallography as a guide towards improved properties important for practical applications.

By virtue of the high theoretical capacity of Si, Si-related materials have been developed as promising anode candidates for high-energy-density batteries. During repeated charge/discharge cycling, however, severe volumetric variation induces the pulverization and peeling of active components, causing rapid capacity decay and even development stagnation in high-capacity batteries. In this study, the Si/Fe2O3-anchored rGO framework was prepared by introducing ball milling into a melt spinning and dealloying process. As the Li-ion battery (LIB) anode, it presents a high reversible capacity of 1744.5 mAh g−1 at 200 mA g−1 after 200 cycles and 889.4 mAh g−1 at 5 A g−1 after 500 cycles. The outstanding electrochemical performance is due to the three-dimensional cross-linked porous framework with a high specific surface area, which is helpful to the transmission of ions and electrons. Moreover, with the cooperation of rGO, the volume expansion of Si is effectively alleviated, thus improving cycling stability. The work provides insights for the design and preparation of Si-based materials for high-performance LIB applications.
