Abstract

Abstract:

It is a goal for all-electric vehicles that the requirement of the energy density for Li-ion batteries must be over 400 W·h/kg in demand. In this review, the recent progresses of Li-rich layered oxide cathode materials in our group are briefly introduced. After many years’ research, their initial coulombic efficiency, the rate capability and cycling performance were improved significantly. Moreover, the voltage decay was suppressed effectively. Based on these processes we also manufactured a 24 A·h-class cell using a Li-rich layered cathode and a Nano Si/C anode. The cell is confirmed to have the mass energy density of 374 W·h/kg and the volumetric energy density of 577 W·h/L.

Key words: Li-ion batteries, Li-rich layered cathode, voltage decay, high energy density, EV
