The formation energy of oxygen vacancies contributes a pivotal factor influencing the stability of lithium-metal batteries. A higher formation energy implies a reduced likelihood of oxygen ions release from the lattice, hindering the creation of oxygen vacancies during charging and discharging process.
In this study, we propose the strategy of introducing tantalum (Ta) to increase oxygen vacancy formation energy and decrease lithium-ion migration energy barrier of single-crystal LiNi 0.9 Co 0.05 Mn 0.05 O 2 (NCM90) cathode materials.
Finally, tantalum lowers the interfacial reactivity, decreases the side reactions between the electrolyte and cathode material, thereby contributes to a thinner and more uniform CEI layer, which composes fewer organic species yet more inorganic species.
Conclusion In summary, a tantalum-modified single-crystal NCM90 is synthesized and delivers an outstanding cycling stability of 88.36 % capacity retention after 100 cycles. Impressively, it also exhibits an improved cycling performance at a high cutoff voltage range to 4.5 V.
Given that the atomic radius of Ta 5+ is larger than that of TM ions (Ni, Co, Mn), the introduced tantalum element exist in the lattice of NCM90 as either a substituent or insertion, inducing an increase in lattice parameters.
