Ni-rich layered oxides, like LiNi0.8Co0.1Mn0.1O2 (NCM811), have been widely investigated as cathodes due to their high energy density. However, gradual structural transformation during cycling can lead to capacity degradation and potential decay of cathode materials. Herein, we doped high-valence transition metal (TM) ions (V5+, Nb5+, and Zr4+) at the Ni site of NCM811 by first principles simulations and explored the mechanism of doping TMs in NCMs for enhancing the electrochemical performance. Analysis of the calculations shows that doping V, Nb and Zr has an efficient influence on alleviating the Ni oxidation, reducing the loss of oxygen, and facilitating Li+ migration. Moreover, V doping can further suppress the lattice distortion due to the radius of V5+ being close to the radius of Mn4+. In particular, compared with the barrier of the pristine NCM in Li divacancy, the barrier of V-doped NCM reaches the lowest. In conclusion, V is the most favorable dopant for NCM811 to improve the electrochemical properties and achieve both high capacity and cycling stability.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

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.
