"Loss of lithium in the initial cycles appreciably reduces the energy density of lithium-

ion batteries."

"Anode prelithiation is a common approach to address the problem, although it faces

the issues of high chemical reactivity and instability in ambient and battery

processing conditions."

"Cathode additives consisting of nanoscale mixtures of transition metals and lithium

oxide that are obtained by conversion reactions of metal oxide and lithium."

"Co3O4 nanoparticles (2 mmol) were reacted with molten Li metal (16 mmol, 99.9%)

at 185 ∘C for 20 min and 200 ∘C for 2 h under continuous mechanical stirring in an

argon-filled glove box with a moisture level below 0.1 ppm and oxygen level below

3.0 ppm. To eliminate the residual Li metal, the synthesized composite was stored in

dry air before use."

"High theoretical prelithiation capacity (typically up to 800 mAh/g during charging."

"In a full-cell configuration, the LiFePO4 electrode with a 4.8% Co/Li2O additive

shows 11% higher overall capacity than that of the pristine LiFePO4 electrode."

"All four polymorphs are thus expected to be poor Li-ion conductors, requiring

synthesis as nanoparticles to facilitate sufficient Li transfer."

Li-ion battery cathode: towards 5 V and 600

mAh/g. Apr 7, 2016

1. Nano-LiFeTiO4/C, 4.75 - 1.5 V (middle point = 2.25 V), 250 mAh/g [1].

Two Li+ redox per formula (Fe4+/3+ accompanying Li+ insertion into

tetrahedral sites, then Fe3+/2+ (usually a plateau at 2.3 V in the bulk) and/or

Ti4+/3+ (usually a plateau at 1.5 V in the bulk) accompanying Li+ insertion into

octahedral sites. Authors commented that the activation of the redox at 3.1 V

(Fe3+/2+) resulting in the capacity increase from 170 to 250 mAh/g by charging

up to a high voltage (e.g., 5 V) might be the pseudo-capacitive redox at

tetrahedral site, FeTi2O4 (23.2% contained), owing to the nano-structure. Li+

ion might be accommodated in quasi-two-dimensional planes in van der Waals

gaps of the host lattice. The stable spinel-host structure is a major requisite for

intercalation pseudocapacitance. Note that the particle diameter is 3 nm.

No anionic redox.

In order to insert Li+ into octahedral sites in addition to tetrahedral sites, extra

Li+ source is required.

3. Li2V0.5Cr0.5O2F, 4.5 - 1.3 V (middle point = 2.55 V), 362 mAh/g [3] .

Nominally Cr4+/3+ (possibly anionic redox), then, V5+/4+/3+.

(cf. 1) It is known that electrochemically active rocksalt-type LiTiO2 is formed

during the charge/discharge of rutile TiO2 nanopowder. It is not likely that it

contains so-called anionic redox; it may be categorized into a classical oxygen

hole at the surface.
