Abstract

In order to show the best composition which gives water-resistance to Li-rich solid-solution layered oxide cathode materials for a water-based cathode preparation process, the water resistance of LLOs composed of xLi2MnO3―yLiNi1/2Mn1/2O2—(1-x-y)LiNi1/3Co1/3Mn1/3O2 was examined by comparing the charge/discharge cycle results obtained with the cathodes prepared with organic solvent-based and water-based binders. The composition area where the percentage content of Li2MnO3 is 70–75% was found to show both high charge/discharge capability and water resistance. In addition, by analyzing why this composition of Li2MnO3 exhibits high water resistance, it has become apparent that the oxidation states of Mn ions and existence of Co ions on the surface of LLOs are the key factors in inhibiting the dissolution of Mn and Ni ions from the LLO surfaces, and finally leading to their high water resistance.
