The dissolution of transition metals (TMs) from cathode materials and their deposition on the anode represents a serious degradation process and, with that, a shortcoming of lithium-ion batteries. It occurs particularly at high charge voltages (>4.3 V), contributing to severe capacity loss and thus impeding the increase of cell voltage as a simple measure to increase energy density. We present here for the first time the online detection of dissolved TMs from a Ni-rich layered oxide cathode material with unprecedented potential and time resolution in potentiodynamic scans. To this aid, we used the coupling of an electroanalytical flow cell (EFC) with inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), which is demonstrated to be an ideal tool for a fast performance assessment of new cathode materials from initial cycles. The simultaneous analysis of electrochemical and dissolution data allows hitherto hidden insights into the processes' characteristics and underlying mechanisms.
