Abstract:
The development of reliable and safe high‐energy‐density lithium‐ion batteries is hindered by the structural instability of cathode materials during cycling, arising as a result of detrimental phase transformations occurring at high operating voltages alongside the loss of active materials induced by transition metal dissolution. Originating from the fundamental structure/function relation of battery materials, the authors purposefully perform crystallographic‐site‐specific structural engineering on electrode material structure, using the high‐voltage LiNi 0.5 Mn 1.5 O 4 (LNMO) cathode as a representative, which directly addresses the root source of structural instability of the Fd m structure. By employing Sb as a dopant to modify the specific issue‐involved 16 c and 16 d sites simultaneously, the authors successfully transform the detrimental two‐phase reaction occurring at high‐voltage into a preferential solid‐solution reaction and significantly suppress the loss of Mn from the LNMO structure. The modified LNMO material delivers an impressive 99% of its theoretical specific capacity at 1 C, and maintains 87.6% and 72.4% of initial capacity after 1500 and 3000 cycles, respectively. The issue‐tracing site‐specific structural tailoring demonstrated for this material will facilitate the rapid development of high‐energy‐density materials for lithium‐ion batteries.
