Abstract
The utilization of Li-rich layered oxides (LLOs) as cathodes in high-energy Li-ion batteries is significantly hindered by serious voltage decay and capacity fading due to irreversible oxygen release and transition metal (TM) migration triggered by the lattice strain. Herein, B ions are effectively incorporated into the tetrahedral vacancies situated between TM slab and Li layer of LLOs. The robust B-O bond, along with the low Bader charge of oxygen within BO4 tetrahedra, alleviates excessive oxidation of O anions while substantially reinforcing the oxygen framework. Consequently, the B-doped LLO sample exhibits only slight variation in lattice parameters, especially the c-axis, which can be characterized as exhibiting “zero-strain” as supported by in situ XRD data. As a result, the discharge capacity of the B-LLO sample maintains 210.66 mAh·g−1 after 300 cycles, with a retention ratio of 90.7%.
