摘要

Developing lithium-ion batteries with high specific energy and fast-charging capability requires overcoming the potential-capacity trade-off in negative electrodes. Conventional fast-charging materials (e.g., Li4Ti5O12, TiNb2O7) operate at high potentials (>1.5 V vs. Li+/Li) to circumvent lithium plating, yet this compromises specific energy. A viable strategy for enhancing the specific energy is to reduce the potential while avoiding the lithium plating risk; however, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Here we demonstrate that enhancing Titanium-Oxygen covalency through pseudo-Jahn-Teller Effect distortion in Ruddlesden-Popper perovskites enables low-potential operation. The Li2La2Ti3O10 negative electrode exhibits a working potential of 0.5 V vs. Li+/Li with initial 139.3 mAh g−1 at 5 A g−1 and 72.9% capacity retention after 5000 cycles. Full cells with LiNi0.8Co0.1Mn0.1O2 positive electrodes deliver 3.45 V average discharge voltage-50% higher than conventional Li4Ti5O12 | |LiNi0.8Co0.1Mn0.1O2 systems-achieving 100 mAh g−1 at 4 A g−1. Mechanistic analysis reveals low Li⁺ migration barriers and stable Ruddlesden-Popper perovskite frameworks enable rapid ion transport.
