摘要
The crystal plane plays a very important role in the properties of Ni-rich cathodes.[003]crystallographic texture regulation has been proven to improve structural stability,and yet,the discrepancy of particles with different exposed ratios of[003]in structural attenuation has not been clarified.Herein,we have unraveled comprehensively the structural decay difference for Ni-rich cathodes’primary particles with the different percentages of exposed[003]by regulating the precursor coprecipitation process.The findings based on structural characterization,first-principles calculations,finite element analysis,and electrochemical test reveal that the length and width of particles represent[110]and[003]directions,respectively,and show that cathode particles with a higher[110]/[003]ratio can effectively inhibit structure degradation and intergranular/intragranular crack formation owing to the low oxygen vacancy formation energy on(003)planes and the small local stress on secondary/primary particles.This study may provide guidance for the structural design of layered cathodes.
