Facet‐dependent Thermal and Electrochemical Degradation of Lithium‐rich Layered Oxides
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Lithium‐rich layered oxides (LLOs) are promising candidate cathode materials for safe and inexpensive high‐energy‐density Li‐ion batteries. However, oxygen dimers are formed from the cathode material through oxygen redox activity, which can result in morphological changes and structural transitions that cause performance deterioration and safety concerns. Herein, a flake‐like LLO is prepared and aberration‐corrected scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM), in situ high‐temperature X‐ray diffraction (HT‐XRD), and soft X‐ray absorption spectrum (sXAS) are used to explore its crystal facet degradation behavior in terms of both thermal and electrochemical processes. Void‐induced degradation behavior of LLO in different facet reveals significant anisotropy at high voltage. Particle degradation originates from side facets, such as the (010) facet, while the close (003) facet is stable. These results are further understood through ab initio molecular dynamics calculations, which show that oxygen atoms are lost from the {010} facets. Therefore, the facet degradation process is that oxygen molecular formed in the interlayer and accumulated in the ab plane during heating, which result in crevice‐voids in the ab plane facets. The study reveals important aspects of the mechanism responsible for oxygen ‐anionic activity‐based degradation of LLO cathode materials used in lithium‐ion batteries. In particular, this study provides insight that enables precise and efficient measures to be taken to improve the thermal and electrochemical stability of an LLO.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
