Abstract
Nickel-rich layered oxide materials (LiNixMnyCo1–x–yO2, x ≥ 0.8, LiNMC) attract great interest for application as positive electrode in lithium ion batteries (LIBs) due to high specific discharge capacities at moderate upper cutoff voltages below 4.4 V vs Li/Li+. However, the comparatively poor cycling stability as well as inferior safety characteristics prevent this material class from commercial application so far. Against this background, new electrolyte formulations including additives are a major prerequisite for a sufficient electrochemical performance of Ni-rich NMC materials. In this work, we introduce triphenylphosphine oxide (TPPO) as electrolyte additive for the application in graphite/LiNi0.8Mn0.1Co0.1O2 (NMC811) cells. The addition of only 0.5 wt % TPPO into a carbonate-based electrolyte (LiPF6 in EC:EMC) significantly increases the first cycle Coulombic efficiency as well as the reversible specific capacity and improves the capacity retention of the LIB full cell cycled between 2.8 and 4.3 V...
