AB - The degradation of LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 (LNMO) cathodes were investigated using different cell designs (half cells, full cells cathode-limited, anode-limited and cathode-limited with pre-charge). Half cells based on Li/LNMO show long-cycle stability due to the unlimited source of electrochemically available lithium. Full-cell configurations with Li4Ti5O12/LNMO are limited in their cycling performance and durability. Differential capacity studies during continuous cycling reveal a systematic intensity change of the NiII/III and NiIII/IV redox peaks as a function of the amount of electrochemically available lithium. As a mechanism, it could be clearly stated that the consumption of electrochemically available lithium determines the cycle stability. The decomposition of the active material itself (e.g. loss of Ni and Mn) is not crucial for the capacity loss. Thus, full cells with a pre-charged anode have the best cycling performance because of its high lithium content.
