Abstract:
Lithium‐rich layered oxides are considered as promising cathode materials for Li‐ion batteries with high energy density due to their higher capacity as compared with the conventional LiMO 2 (e.g., LiCoO 2 , LiNiO 2 , and LiNi 1/3 Co 1/3 Mn 1/3 O 2 ) layered oxides. However, why lithium‐rich layered oxides exhibit high capacities without undergoing a structural collapse for a certain number of cycles has attracted limited attention. Here, based on the model of Li 2 RuO 3 , it is uncovered that the mechanism responsible for the structural integrity shown by lithium‐rich layered oxides is realized by the flexible local structure due to the presence of lithium atoms in the transition metal layer, which favors the formation of O 2 2− ‐like species, with the aid of in situ extended X‐ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS), in situ energy loss spectroscopy (EELS), and density functional theory (DFT) calculation. This finding will open new scope for the development of high‐capacity layered electrodes.
