Although LiNiO$_2$ is chemically similar to LiCoO$_2$ and offers a nearly identical theoretical capacity, LiNiO$_2$ and related Co-free Ni-rich cathode materials suffer from degradation during electrochemical cycling that has prevented…

A new superstructure of layered pristine LiNiO2 (LNO) was obtained optimizing a large supercell of the 166 space group, the one observed experimentally by XRD, and relaxing both cell parameters and internal positions. The crystal structure…

We present an x-ray absorption study of the oxidation states of transition-metal-ions of LiMnO2 and its related materials, widely used as cathodes in Li-ion batteries. The comparison between the obtained spectrum and the…

Herein, we performed ab initio screening to identify the best doping of LiNiO2 to achieve improved cycle performance in lithium ion batteries. The interlayer interaction that dominates the c-axis contraction and overall performance was…

Cathodes are critical components of rechargeable batteries. Conventionally, the search for cathode materials relies on experimental trial-and-error and a traversing of existing computational/experimental databases. While these methods have…

Li$_xTM$O$_2$ (TM={Ni, Co, Mn}) are promising cathodes for Li-ion batteries, whose electrochemical cycling performance is strongly governed by crystal structure and phase stability as a function of Li content at the atomistic scale. Here,…

Optimal elemental configuration search in crystal is a crucial task to discovering industrially important materials such as lithium-ion battery cathodes. In this paper we present application of quantum approximate optimization algorithm,…

LixTMO2 (TM=Ni, Co, Mn) forms an important family of cathode materials for Li-ion batteries, whose performance is strongly governed by Li composition-dependent crystal structure and phase stability. Here, we use LixCoO2 (LCO) as a model…

A2B7 compounds (A = rare earth or Mg, B = transition metal) are widely studied as active materials for negative electrode in Ni-MH batteries. By playing on the substitution rate of both A and B elements, it is possible to prepare various…

Next-generation lithium-ion batteries with silicon anodes have positive characteristics due to higher energy densities compared to state-of-the-art graphite anodes. However, the large volume expansion of silicon anodes can cause high…

The present work reviews the charge compensation in Ni based layered oxides (LiNi1-xMexO2 with x <= 0.2, Me = Co, Mn, space group R-3m) relating performance parameters to changes in the electronic and crystallographic structure of the…

LiNiO$_2$ shows poor Li transport kinetics at the ends of charge and discharge in the first cycle, which significantly reduces its available capacity in practice. The atomistic origins of these kinetic limits have not been fully understood.…

This work presents a comparative study of optimization techniques for parameter identification in equivalent electrical models of lithium-ion batteries. The 2RC model is applied to a set of twelve batteries using four publicly available…

Among the 'beyond Li-ion' battery chemistries, nonaqueous Li-O$_2$ batteries have the highest theoretical specific energy and as a result have attracted significant research attention over the past decade. A critical scientific challenge…

The choice of cathode material in Li-ion batteries (LIBs) underpins their overall performance. Discovering new cathode materials is a slow process, and all major commercial cathode materials are still based on those identified in the 1990s.…

We develop a new approach to determining LJ-EAM potentials for alloys and use these to determine the solid-liquid phase diagrams for binary metallic alloys using Kofke's Gibbs-Duhem integration technique combined with semigrand canonical…

The Li-Sn binary system has been the focus of extensive research because it features Li-rich alloys with potential applications as battery anodes. Our present re-examination of the binary system with a combination of machine learning and ab…
