Lithium-rich, Mn-based layered oxides Li MnO -LiMO (M=Ni, Co) have been considered as promising cathode candidates owing to their high capacity. However, the resources shortage and high price of cobalt make it imperious to substitute cobalt with other high-abundance elements. Here, we synthesized a low-cost, cobalt-free, Fe-substituted oxide material, Li(Li Ni Fe Mn )O . It exhibited a high reversible capacity of 169.2 mAh g after 100 cycles and maintained an extraordinarily high discharge potential during cycling. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and DFT calculations revealed that super iron Fe exists in the delithiated state, and oxygen participates in the redox reaction in addition to the Ni /Ni and Fe /Fe redox couples. The anionic oxidation preferentially occurred on oxygen with a Li-O-Li configuration and with oxidized Fe and Ni coordination.
富锂锰基层状氧化物LiMnO-LiMO(M = Ni,Co)因其高容量而被认为是有前景的阴极候选材料。然而,钴的资源短缺和高价格使得用其他高丰度元素替代钴变得迫切。在此,我们合成了一种低成本、无钴、铁取代的氧化物材料Li(LiNiFeMn)O。在100次循环后,它表现出169.2 mAh g的高可逆容量,并且在循环过程中保持了极高的放电电位。X射线光电子能谱和密度泛函理论计算表明,超铁Fe以脱锂状态存在,除了Ni/Ni和Fe/Fe氧化还原对之外,氧还参与氧化还原反应。阴离子氧化优先发生在具有Li-O-Li构型且与氧化的Fe和Ni配位的氧上。
