Abstract

Cathode degradation is a key factor that limits the lifetime of Li-ion batteries. To identify functional coatings that can suppress this degradation, we present a high-throughput density functional theory based framework which consists of reaction models that describe thermodynamic and electrochemical stabilities, and acid-scavenging capabilities of materials. Screening more than 130,000 oxygen-bearing materials, we suggest physical and hydrofluoric-acid barrier coatings such as WO 3, LiAl 5 O 8 and ZrP 2 O 7 and hydrofluoric-acid scavengers such as Sc 2 O 3, Li 2 CaGeO 4, LiBO 2, Li 3 NbO 4, Mg 3(BO 3)2 and Li 2 MgSiO 4. Using a design strategy to find the thermodynamically optimal coatings for a cathode, we further present optimal hydrofluoric-acid scavengers such as Li 2 SrSiO 4, Li 2 CaSiO 4 and CaIn 2 O 4 for the layered LiCoO 2, and Li 2 GeO 3, Li 4 NiTeO 6 and Li 2 MnO 3 for the spinel LiMn 2 O 4 cathodes. These coating materials have the potential to prolong the cycle-life of Li-ion batteries and surpass the performance of common coatings based on conventional materials such as Al 2 O 3, ZnO, MgO or ZrO 2.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
