Investigating Structural Inhomogeneity of High Nickel Cathode Materials for Lithium Ion Batteries during High Rate Discharge

초록/요약

A study on the structural stability of the cathode materials during electrochemical reactions, in particular, at high rates is extremely important in order to design and develop new electrode materials to meet the stringent requirement of both high energy and power densities for electric vehicles (EVs). In this study, structural inhomogeneity developed within a single LiNi0.835Co0.15Al0.015O2 (NCA83) particle during a fast discharging process are thoroughly investigated by the selected area electron diffraction (SAED) technique using a transmission electron microscope (TEM). Since these structural inhomogeneity should critically affect various characteristics of the cathode materials, the complete understanding of structural inhomogeneity within a single particle occurring during various electrochemical processes is of critical importance to the development of cathode materials with outstanding performance.
