摘要

Layered Li-rich oxide cathodes enable to activate lattice oxygen anions redox in the charge compensation process and provide superior high specific capacity over 250 mAh g−1 due to their unique configuration, and thus attracting great attentions as promising cathode candidates for Li-ion batteries. However, how to better stabilize the bulk lattice oxygen framework and surface structure, and slow down the release of oxygen, is still major bottleneck to develop high performance Li-rich materials. Transition metal ions with outer d0 electronic configuration have distortable configuration, which can accommodate the local structure and chemical environment of the material, and then improve structural stability. Herein this work, the d0 transition metal Ti4+ is used as doping element to improve the chemical and structural stability, capacity retention and lithium ion diffusion kinetics of Li-rich material. The role of Ti in the material modification is revealed through synchrotron-based soft x-ray absorption spectroscopy, XRD, XPS and electrochemical tests. The improvement in structural stability can be attributed to that Ti doping can adjust the hybridization of O2p and TM3d to regulate the local electronic structure of both bulk lattice oxygen and surface oxygen vacancies. It is hoped that this work should shed light on the development of high-performance cathode materials for Li-ion Batteries.
