The effect of the substitution of Co3+ for equal amounts of Mn4+ and Ni2+ in the lithium-rich layered oxide cathode Li[Li0.2Ni0.2–x/2Mn0.6–x/2Cox]O2 (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.24) has been investigated systematically. Electrochemical charge/discharge measurements in lithium-ion cells indicate that the oxygen loss from the lattice during the first charge is a kinetically slow process, but it can be improved by the substitution of Co3+ due to an overlap of the Co3+/4+:t2g band with the top of the O2–:2p band and an increase in metal–oxygen covalence. Although the increased oxygen loss with increasing Co3+ substitution leads to a higher reversible capacity, the first cycle discharge voltage decreases slightly due to the higher concentration of Mn3+ ions created during the first discharge. However, both the capacity fade and the voltage decay increase during extended cycling with increasing Co3+ substitution due to an increasing migration of the transition-metal ions to the lithium layer, which is promoted by the higher numb...
