Abstract

Lithium (Li)-ion batteries using nickel (Ni)-rich layered oxide cathode have been pursued with interest due to high practical energy density. A fundamental understanding of the reaction pathways and structural evolution of the solid-phase synthesis of these materials is crucial for their rational design and process development for mass production. In this work, structural evolution during solid-state synthesis was traced via in situ technique, with a particular emphasis on the lithiation reaction and migration of transition metal (TM) ions. The sintering process is governed by the competitive relationship of decomposition and lithiation reactions, which can be regulated through temperature windows. Controlling the melting point of the Li sources, as well as their affinity to cathode precursors, is highly desired to maintain the layered ordering of TM ions throughout the whole synthesis process, which simplifies the manufacturing process and improves the quality of the manufactured cathode material.
