Abstract
Nickel-rich layered oxides (NCM) are a promising contender material for the cathode electrode of high-energy lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) due to their large reversible capacity and high operating voltage. However, the poor surface/interfacial stability and the dissolution of transition metal ions hinder the commercial application of NCM. To create an artificial cathode electrolyte interphase (CEI) with LiF-rich inorganic phase on the NCM surface, a practical and efficient way of quenching the NCM powder from high temperature in 1,1,2,2-Tetrafluoroethyl 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl ether (HFE) was devised. With this artificial CEI film, the side reactions between NCM and electrolytes are inhibited, and the dissolution of TM ions is retarded. The quenched-NCM achieved fantastic cycling performance and suppressed voltage decay. Our research offers an efficient and worthy approach for improving the surface/interfacial stabilization of nickel-rich cathode materials for high-energy-density LIBs.
