Li-rich disordered rock-salt oxides (DRX) are considered an attractive cathode material in the future battery field due to their excellent energy density and specific capacity. Nevertheless, anionic redox provides high capacity while causing O2 over-oxidation to O2, resulting in voltage hysteresis and capacity decay. Herein, the crystal structure of Li1.3Mn0.4Ti0.3O1.7F0.3 (LMTOF) cathode is stabilized by using sodium carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) binders replacing traditional polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) binders. The electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and galvanostatic intermittent titration technique (GITT) reveal that the CMC-based LMTOF electrode has higher electronic conductivity and lithium-ion diffusion kinetics. Moreover, CMC has been demonstrated to improve the O2- reversibility, reduce the amounts of byproducts from electrolyte decomposition and suppress transition metal dissolution by Na+/Li+ exchange reaction. Furthermore, the CMC-based LMTOF electrode also exhibits less volume change upon lithiation/delithiation processes compared to the PVDF-based electrode, resulting in enhanced structural stability during cycling. Benefiting from these features, the CMC binders can effectively improve the cycling life and rate performance of the LMTOF cathode, and the CMC-based LMTOF electrode shows good capacity retention of 94.5 % after 30 cycles at 20 mA/g and 66.7 % after 100 cycles at 200 mA/g. This finding indicates that CMC as a binder can efficiently stabilize the structure and improve the electrochemical performance of Li-rich disordered rock-salt oxides cathode, making it possible for practical Li-ion battery applications.
