Summary: Through the investigation with in situ Raman spectroscopy, XANES spectroscopy, and HRTEM, it was found that the voltage-fading mechanism of Li-rich materials is nearly reversible in the whole charge-discharge cycle but becomes irreversible upon long-term cycling, leading to structural collapse and undesirable voltage fading. This finding is significant for a better understanding of the redox reaction mechanisms of high-capacity Li-rich cathodes.

Summary: This study investigates the crystal facet degradation behavior of lithium-rich layered oxides (LLOs) used as cathode materials for Li-ion batteries. It is found that different facets of LLO exhibit significant anisotropic degradation behavior, with particle degradation mainly originating from the (010) facet. Ab initio molecular dynamics calculations reveal that oxygen atoms are lost from the (010) facet, leading to the formation of crevice-voids in the ab plane.
