Topotaxially grown composite cathodes for cobalt-free high-energy long-life Li-ion batteries

The vehicle industry’s increasing demand for electrification necessitates the removal of expensive and rare cobalt from current high-energy batteries. However, eliminating cobalt poses challenges due to its vital role in maintaining the layered structural ordering and cycling stability of commonly used Li(NiMnCo)O 2 cathodes. As an alternative to conventional layered oxide designs, we report a lithium nickelate cathode with a composite structure comprising major stoichiometric layered and minor rocksalt phases within the same oxygen lattice. This material outperforms conventional designs by maintaining stable battery operation at voltages up to 4.8 V vs. Li|Li + , with 88% capacity retention after 1000 cycles at 2C. The topotaxial-growth-enabled interlock between the two components mitigates chemo-mechanical degradation, offering a promising pathway to cobalt-free cathodes. Additionally, we reveal a miscibility gap in the Li-Ni-O system that enables kinetic adjustment of composition and structure during sintering, thereby tuning the functionality of high-energy cathodes.
