Abstract:

Lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxide (NMC) materials, with low cost and high energy density, are considered to be among the most promising cathode materials for Li-ion batteries (LIBs). However, several issues have hindered their further deployment, particularly for high-powered applications, including limited rate capability, capacity loss during cycling (especially at high temperatures and high voltages), and difficulty in reproducibly preparing the desired particle morphology. In this work, we have developed a robust LiNi0.33Mn0.33Co0.33O2 cathode material (NMC-111) capable of high-rate performance for LIBs. Our high power NMC-111 (HP-NMC) cathode materials showed significantly enhanced electrochemical performance, relative to a commercial NMC-111 (c-NMC), with discharge capacities of 138 and 131 mAh/g at high current rates of 20 and 30 C, respectively. The material also exhibited enhanced cycling stability under both room temperature and at 50 °C. We ascribe the high performance of our material to a unique crystalline microstructure observed by electron microscopy characterization, which showed preferential orientation of the Li-diffusing channels radially outward. This HP-NMC material achieved one of the highest performance metrics among NMC materials reported to date, especially for high-powered electric vehicles.
