AI Technical Summary
High-nickel cathode materials deteriorate rapidly during high-temperature sintering and electrochemical cycling due to structural instability and phase structure evolution and interfacial side reactions caused by lithium ion insertion/extraction. Existing modification strategies are insufficient to effectively suppress internal grain boundary evolution and microcrack initiation.
Hydroxide precursors containing pinning elements were prepared by a multi-source co-precipitation method. Discontinuous oxide pinning phases were formed in a high-nickel cathode material matrix through a lithium-free pre-sintering process. Pinning elements such as W, Ce, Sn, Ta, Nb and Y were used to construct nanoscale grain boundary structures, providing physical anchoring and spatial constraints, and inhibiting grain boundary migration and grain growth.
It significantly improves the structural stability and lithium-ion transport performance of high-nickel cathode materials, extends cycle life, and maintains excellent rate performance, solving the problem of difficulty in achieving both stability and kinetics in traditional modification strategies.
