Nickel-rich NCMs (LiMO 2 , with M = Ni, Co, and Mn) are increasingly commercialized as cathode active materials for lithium-ion batteries due to their high specific capacity. However, the available capacity is limited due to their structural instability at high state of charge, causing the formation of a resistive surface layer upon release of lattice oxygen, observed at different upper cutoff potentials depending on the NCM composition. To understand the impact of this instability, the correlation of oxygen release, capacity fading, and particle cracking was investigated as a function of state of charge for three nickel-rich NCMs, differing either in composition (i.e., in transition metal ratio) or in morphology (i.e., in primary crystallite size). First, the onset of the release of lattice oxygen was identified by on-line electrochemical mass spectrometry (OEMS). In electrochemical cycling experiments, the NCM capacitance was tracked in situ by impedance spectroscopy (EIS) using a micro-reference electrode while the upper cutoff potential was increased every third cycle stepwise from 3.9 V to 5.0 V. Hereby, the effect of the degree of delithiation on the discharge capacity and on the particle integrity (tracked via its surface area) was examined, both for poly- and single-crystalline NCMs.
