LiMnBO3 is a potential cathode for Li-ion batteries, but it suffers from a low electrochemical activity. To improve the electrochemical performance of LiMnBO3, the effect of polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) as carbon additive was studied. Monoclinic LiMnBO3/C and LiMnBO3-MnO/C materials were obtained by a solid-state method at 500 °C. The structure, morphology and electrochemical behavior of these materials are characterized and compared. The results show that carbon additives and ball-milling dispersants affect the formation of impurities in the final products, but MnO is beneficial for the performance of LiMnBO3. The sample of LiMnBO3-MnO/C delivered a high capacity of 162.1 mAh g−1 because the synergistic effect of the MnO/C composite and the suppression of the PVP coating on particle growth facilitates charge transfer and lithium–ion diffusion.

Lithium ion batteries with LiFePO4 cathode have become the focus of research because they are eco-friendly, stable, high average voltage (3.5 V), and high theoretical capacity (170 mAh/g). However, LiFePO4 has disadvantages such as low electrical conductivity (~10-9 S/cm) and low lithium ion diffusion coefficient (~10-14-10-15 cm2/s) that can inhibit its application as a lithium ion battery cathode material. To increase the electronic conductivity of LiFePO4, it can be done by adding carbon as a coating material, then doping gadolinium metal ions because it has a radius similar to Fe, and increasing sintering temperature. Optimizing the sintering temperature can control particle growth and research was study the sintering temperature of the electronic conductivity of LiFeGdPO4/C and obtain the optimum sintering temperature at LiFeGdPO4/C. The carbothermal reduction method used in synthesis, with a variation of sintering temperature of 800°C, 830°C, 850°C, 870°C, and 900°C using reagents LiH2PO4, Fe2O3, Gd2O3, and carbon black. Furthermore the samples were characterized using XRD, SEM-EDS, and four-point probes. The results of the study were expected to increase the conductivity of LiFePO4. The results show the effect of sintering temperature can increase the electronic conductivity of LiFeGdPO4/C. Samples with a sintering temperature 850°C have the highest conductivity among all temperature variations with a value of 1.11 × 10-5 S cm-1.

LiNi1−x−yMnxCoyO2 materials are a typical class of layered cathode materials with excellent electrochemical performance in lithium-ion batteries. Molecular dynamics simulations are performed for LiNi1−x−yMnxCoyO2 materials with different transition metal ratios. The Li/Ni exchange ratio, ratio of anti-site Ni2+ to total Ni2+, and diffusion coefficient of Li ions in these materials are calculated. The results show that the Li-ion diffusion coefficient strongly depends on the ratio of anti-site Ni2+ to total Ni2+ because their variation tendencies are similar. In addition, the local coordination structure of the Li/Ni anti-site is analyzed.

Understanding the performance of commercially relevant cathode materials for lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries is vital to realize the potential of high-capacity materials for automotive applications. Of particular interest is the spatial variation of crystallographic behavior across (what can be) highly inhomogeneous electrodes. In this work, a high-resolution X-ray diffraction technique was used to obtain operando transmission measurements of Li-ion pouch cells to measure the spatial variances in the cell during electrochemical cycling. Through spatially resolved investigations of the crystallographic structures, the distribution of states of charge has been elucidated. A larger portion of the charging is accounted for by the central parts, with the edges and corners delithiating to a lesser extent for a given average electrode voltage. The cells were cycled to different upper cutoff voltages (4.2 and 4.3 V vs. graphite) and C-rates (0.5, 1, and 3C) to study the effect on the structure of the NMC811 cathode. By combining this rapid data collection method with a detailed Rietveld refinement of degraded NMC811, the spatial dependence of the degradation caused by long-term cycling (900 cycles) has also been shown. The variance shown in the pristine measurements is exaggerated in the aged cells with the edges and corners offering an even lower percentage of the charge. Measurements collected at the very edge of the cell have also highlighted the importance of electrode alignment, with a misalignment of less than 0.5 mm leading to significantly reduced electrochemical activity in that area.
