Abstract
The instability of surface lattice On- (0<n<2) in the charged LiCoO₂ (LCO) limits its long-term cycling stability beyond 4.55 V vs. Li/Li⁺. Herein, the spinel and rock-salt (RS) phases are constructed on the LCO surface to stabilize lattice On-, namely S-LCO and R-LCO, respectively. Upon long-term cycling at 4.6 V, the loss of lattice On- leads to a progressive deterioration of surface spinel phase, which ultimately transfers to a strong Li+-blocking phase. In contrast, for R-LCO, the surface lattice On- in the RS phase retains stable in long-term cycles. Theoretical calculations reveal that the migration barriers of lattice On- are significantly higher in the RS phase than that in the spinel phase. Due to the stabilized surface lattice On-, the R-LCO||Li cell shows a impressive capacity retention of 78.6% in 1000 cycles at 4.6 V (current of 1 C), and superior floating charge durability at 45℃. This study highlights the importance of surface structure tailoring in developing the advanced LCO cathodes.
