Excess‐Li Localization Triggers Chemical Irreversibility in Li‐ and Mn‐Rich Layered Oxides

Abstract: Li‐ and Mn‐rich layered oxides (LMRs) have emerged as practically feasible cathode materials for high‐energy‐density Li‐ion batteries due to their extra anionic redox behavior and market competitiveness. However, sluggish kinetics regions (<3.5 V vs Li/Li+) associated with anionic redox chemistry engender LMRs with chemical irreversibility (first‐cycle irreversibility, poor rate properties, voltage fading), which limits their practical use. Herein, the structural origin of this chemical irreversibility is reve… Show more

“…[6] Given that LMRs with a high S-to-V ratio lack material competitiveness and practical feasibility, lowering the S-to-V ratio is a straightforward solution to the impracticality of LMRs. [8] Unfortunately, LMRs with a low S-to-V ratio (i.e., particle size > 500 nm) show significant irreversibility (e.g., reversible capacity < 210 mAh g −1 ), [9] where the origin of this irreversibility has not been sufficiently identified to date. In this regard, our previous study demonstrated that "excess-Li localization in the LMR structure" attenuated the local covalency in transitionmetal-oxygen (TM-O) frameworks, facilitating "lattice-oxygen evolution", with the resulting local structural breakdown into oxygen-deficient phases triggering "overall chemical irreversibility".…”

“…In this regard, our previous study demonstrated that "excess-Li localization in the LMR structure" attenuated the local covalency in transitionmetal-oxygen (TM-O) frameworks, facilitating "lattice-oxygen evolution", with the resulting local structural breakdown into oxygen-deficient phases triggering "overall chemical irreversibility". [8] Based on this material understanding, the significant irreversibility in LMRs can possibly be alleviated by modifying the excess-Li distribution; thus, "excess-Li delocalization (i.e., the mitigation of excess-Li localization) in LMRs with a low S-to-V ratio" is expected to be a problem-solving morphological and structural design for satisfying industrial needs with high chemical reversibility (Figure 1a).…”

“…Armstrong et al [9] claimed that the capacity loss in the Li-rich layered oxides roots in the irreversible oxygen evolution and the associated deterioration of the surface structure. Cho et al [12] attributed the immoderate oxygen oxidation to the localized LiMn 6 (excess-Li localization) domains; they weaken the TM-O covalency and stability, leading to overall chemical irreversibility. Moreover, it was reported that the oxygen oxidation in the bulk results in more capacity loss than the oxygen release does on the particle surface.…”
