Abstract

LixCoO2 and LixNiO2 (0.5 < x < 1) are used as prototype cathode materials in lithium ion batteries. Both systems show degradation and fatigue when used as cathode material during electrochemical cycling. In order to analyze the change of the structure and the electronic structure of LixCoO2 and LixNiO2 as a function of Li content x in detail, we have performed X-ray diffraction studies, photoelectron spectroscopy (PES) investigations and band structure calculations for a series of compounds Lix(Co,Ni)O2 (0 < x⩽ 1). The calculated density of states (DOS) are weighted by theoretical photoionization cross sections and compared with the DOS gained from the PES experiments. Consistently, the experimental and calculated DOS show a broadening of the Co/Ni 3d states upon lithium de-intercalation. The change of the shape of the experimental PES curves with decreasing lithium concentration can be interpreted from the calculated partial DOS as an increasing energetic overlap of the Co/Ni 3d and O 2p states and a change in the orbital overlap of Co/Ni and O wave functions.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
