Ni-rich layered oxides are considered as promising cathode materials for Li-ion batteries (LIBs) due to their satisfying theoretical specific capacity and reasonable cost. However, poor cycling stability caused by structural collapse and interfacial instability of the Ni-rich cathode material limits the further applications of commercialization. Herein, a series of B-doped single-crystal LiNi0.83Co0.05Mn0.12O2 (NCM) are designed and fabricated, aiming to improve the structural stability and enlarge the Li+-ions diffusion paths simultaneously. It reveals that B-doping at TM layers will facilitate the formation of stronger B-O covalent bonds and expand the layered distance, significantly enhancing the thermodynamics and kinetic of NCM electrode. With the synergistic effect of single-crystalline architecture and appropriate B-doping, it can effectively alleviate the occurrence of internal strain with structural degradation and boost the intrinsic rate capability synchronously. As anticipated, the 0.6 mol % B-doped NCM electrode exhibits enhanced rate property and superior cycle stability, even at the harsh condition of high-temperature and elevated cut-off voltage. Remarkably, when tested in pouch-type full-cell, it maintains high reversible capacity with superior capacity retention of 91.35% over 500 cycles with only 0.0173% decay per cycle. This research illustrates the feasibility of B-doping and single-crystalline architecture to improve the electrochemical performance, which is beneficial to understand the enhancement effect and provides the design strategy for the commercialization progress of Ni-rich cathode materials. |
