On the Durability of Protective Titania Coatings on High‐Voltage Spinel Cathodes
TiO(2)‐coating of LiNi(0.5‐x )Mn(1.5+x )O(4) (LNMO) by atomic layer deposition (ALD) has been studied as a strategy to stabilize the cathode/electrolyte interface and mitigate transition metal (TM) ion dissolution. The TiO(2) coatings were found to be uniform, with thicknesses estimated to 0.2, 0.3,...

Sumario: | TiO(2)‐coating of LiNi(0.5‐x )Mn(1.5+x )O(4) (LNMO) by atomic layer deposition (ALD) has been studied as a strategy to stabilize the cathode/electrolyte interface and mitigate transition metal (TM) ion dissolution. The TiO(2) coatings were found to be uniform, with thicknesses estimated to 0.2, 0.3, and 0.6 nm for the LNMO powders exposed to 5, 10, and 20 ALD cycles, respectively. While electrochemical characterization in half‐cells revealed little to no improvement in the capacity retention neither at 20 nor at 50 °C, improved capacity retention and coulombic efficiencies were demonstrated for the TiO(2)‐coated LNMO in LNMO||graphite full‐cells at 20 °C. This improvement in cycling stability could partly be attributed to thinner cathode electrolyte interphase on the TiO(2)‐coated samples. Additionally, energy‐dispersive X‐ray spectroscopy revealed a thinner solid electrolyte interphase on the graphite electrode cycled against TiO(2)‐coated LNMO, indicating retardation of TM dissolution by the TiO(2)‐coating. |
