A new type of protective surface layer for high-capacity Ni-based cathode materials: nanoscaled surface pillaring layer.

TLDR
This material showed excellent structural stability due to a pillar layer, corresponding to 85% capacity retention between 3.0 and 4.5 V at 60 °C after 100 cycles, and the amount of heat generation was decreased by 40%, compared to LiNi0.15O2.
Abstract
A solid solution series of lithium nickel metal oxides, Li[Ni1–xMx]O2 (with M = Co, Mn, and Al) have been investigated intensively to enhance the inherent structural instability of LiNiO2. However, when a voltage range of Ni-based cathode materials was increased up to >4.5 V, phase transitions occurring above 4.3 V resulted in accelerated formation of the trigonal phase (P3m1) and NiO phases, leading to and pulverization of the cathode during cycling at 60 °C. In an attempt to overcome these problems, LiNi0.62Co0.14Mn0.24O2 cathode material with pillar layers in which Ni2+ ions were resided in Li slabs near the surface having a thickness of ∼10 nm was prepared using a polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) functionalized Mn precursor coating on Ni0.7Co0.15Mn0.15(OH)2. We confirmed the formation of a pillar layer via various analysis methods (XPS, HRTEM, and STEM). This material showed excellent structural stability due to a pillar layer, corresponding to 85% capacity retention between 3.0 and 4.5 V at 60 °C after 10...
