Battery Research Group Inter-slab Space Model  In the LiNiO2 system the dramatic deterioration of electrochemical performances is strongly related to the change in oxidation state of the extra nickel ions, which induces local collapses of the structure and hinders not only lithium diffusion in the inter-slab space but also lithium reintercalation in the six sites around each extra nickel ion.  In the LiNiMgO2 system, the magnesium ions, with a size very close to that of lithium, remain in the divalent state during cell charge. Therefore, their presence in the inter-slab space does not strongly affect lithium reintercalation because no shrinkage of the structure appears upon cycling.  The size of Mg2+ and Zr4+ is similar to Li+ ion and this result explains why the Zr-substituted phases have good cycling properties.
