Abstract

The major obstacle to commercialization of high-voltage Li-ion batteries is the lack of oxidatively stable and inexpensive current collectors that can operate at potentials of up to 5 V vs Li+/Li. In this work, we present titanium nitride as a compelling cathode current collector for high-voltage Li-ion batteries exhibiting higher oxidative stability in LiPF6 and lithium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide electrolytes than aluminum or stainless steel current collectors. Its high oxidative stability has been assessed with a high-voltage LiMn1.5Ni0.5O4 cathode. TiN/LiMn1.5Ni0.5O4 half cells demonstrated a high Coulombic efficiency of 98.5% at a low C-rate of 0.2 C after 100 cycles.
