Density functional theory (DFT) predictions suggest that the observed lattice expansion is an indication of increased oxygen vacancy concentration and may be due to the Si doping.Ī. The superior capacity likely results from the increased lattice parameters as determined by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and the lower resistance during the first cycle found by impedance and direct current resistance (DCR) measurements. Furthermore, the doped material exhibits a 10% higher capacity relative to the control. Raman and differential capacity analyses suggest that silicon doping improves the structural stability during electrochemical cycling. To address this, Si doping was applied, resulting in improved stability. However, structural stability prevents their commercial adoption. However, laser structuring with ultra-short pulses technique has the potential of outperforming mechanical structuring if the process is optimized to high precision to reduce residual and waste material, due to reproducibility and lower operational costs.LiO 2 (M = Ni, Mn, Co) (HE-NMC) materials, which can be expressed as a combination of trigonal LiTMO 2 (TM = transition metal) and monoclinic Li 2MnO 3 phases, are of great interest as high capacity cathodes for lithium-ion batteries. Concerning the implementation in a large-scale battery factory, mechanical structuring is currently considered a processing of choice as it has no surface residuals or waste material. Mechanical and laser structuring methods are compared on the surface of a PVDF/NMP-based cathode.

The lignin/water cells investigated herein restore after undergoing rate capability tests (5C), except those with pit structures or ultra-high thickness (>200 μm), due to the extensive crack formation during water evaporation which causes poor mechanical stability. Structuring the half-dried cathode surface with ceramic blades is preferred over a stamp-like silicon wafer, and the line structures are easier to produce with high mechanical stability in comparison to pit structures. The underlying lithium-ion diffusion limitation at current densities higher than 0.2 C is mitigated by creating line structures on the surface of the cathode. At porosities higher than 60%, the electronic conductivity limits the rate capability of the cathode, while for porosities lower than 30%, ionic conduction causes significant ionic polarization and consequently diminishes rate performance. The performance deterioration at high discharge currents is amplified by high mass loading and low bulk porosity. For the first time, we fabricate high-density, thick NMC111 cathode coatings using water as a solvent, and bio-derived kraft lignin as a binder material. The cost and environmental impact of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) can be reduced substantially by enabling the aqueous processing of cathode materials.
