DOI: 10.1002/adma. 201402541 planes,[29, 30] including (010),(110),(100),(010),(110) and (100) facets, afford unimpeded paths for Li+ diffusion. Sun’s works have shown that the rate performance of layered cathode materials can be enhanced by increasing the percentage of exposed {010} active planes.[31, 32] However, it is still a huge challenge to prepare layered materials with exposed {010} planes, as these high-energy facets are easy to be vanished during synthesis.[31] Herein, in order to combine the advantages from the hierarchical architecture and the electrochemically active {010} planes of the layered structure, we demonstrate a facile approach for creating a high surface area of exposed {010} planes through a rational designed hierarchical structure. A layered lithium-rich material, Li 1.2Mn 0.6Ni 0.2O 2, is used here as an example to verify the validity of our strategy.Our approach relies on the spontaneous assembly of the radially aligned primary nanoplates into hierarchical quasi-spheres as shown in Scheme 1. It is demonstrated that the lateral planes of primary nanoplates are {010} planes, so once they realize the directional alignment as designed, the surface of quasi-spheres will be dominated by {010} planes. Then 3D divergent paths span from the center of spheres to the surface could be built up for Li+ transport, affording superior Li+ intercalate/deintercalate kinetics. As a consequence, this hierarchical structured lithium-rich material (HSLR) is expected to yield outstanding rate capability when tested as a cathode material for LIBs. Furthermore, good cycling performance is also anticipated because of the hierarchical morphology.
