Tungsten-doped high-nickel ternary crystal: BASFRecent Research Landscape

Micro-cracking in polycrystalline cathodes during cycling leads to rapid capacity fade and safety risks. Engineering single-crystalline structures with specific multi-element coatings stabilizes the lattice to extend battery cycle life.

What technical problems is BASF addressing in Tungsten-doped high-nickel ternary crystal?

Structural instability during cycling

(27)evidences

High-nickel cathode materials suffer from mechanical cracking and surface side reactions during cycling. Addressing these degradation mechanisms prevents rapid loss of electrochemical performance and safety risks.

Interfacial impedance and degradation

(16)evidences

Parasitic chemical interactions between high-nickel cathode surfaces and electrolyte cause rapid capacity loss. Mitigating these reactions prevents chemical degradation and gas evolution.

Interfacial side reactions

(15)evidences

High-nickel cathode materials suffer from parasitic side reactions and phase transitions at the particle-electrolyte interface. Mitigating this degradation prevents capacity loss and thermal runaway.

Surface structural instability

(12)evidences

High-nickel cathode materials suffer from parasitic side reactions and phase transitions at the particle-electrolyte interface. Mitigating this degradation prevents capacity loss and thermal runaway during cycling.

Surface structural instability

(12)evidences

High-nickel ternary cathodes suffer from mechanical strain and phase transitions that lead to capacity fade. Mitigating structural breakdown ensures long-term electrochemical stability.
