Abstract

Abstract: The electronic structures of bare and ZrO₂-coated Li(Ni_0.8Co_0.15Al_0.05)O₂ electrode systems were investigated using a combination of time-resolved X-ray diffraction and soft X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) techniques. The ZrO₂ coating on the surface of Li(Ni_0.8Co_0.15Al_0.05)O₂ was effective in elevating the onset temperature of the dissociation of charged Li_0.33(Ni_0.8Co_0.15Al_0.05)O₂, which will enhance the safety of Li-ion cells. Soft XAS spectra of the Ni L_II,III-edge in the partial electron yield mode were obtained, which showed that the enhanced electrochemical properties and thermal stability of the cathode materials by ZrO₂ coating can be attributed to the suppression of unwanted Ni oxidation state changes at the surface. Graphical Abstract: The electronic structural effects of a ZrO₂ coating on Li(Ni_0.8Co_0.15Al_0.05)O₂ were examined by soft X-ray absorption spectroscopy. The coating stabilized the Ni oxidation state at the electrode surface against decomposition [Figure not available: see fulltext.]
