The bare and AlF3-coated Li1.2(Mn0.54Ni0.16Co0.08)O2 samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction(XRD), scanning electron microscope(SEM), and high resolution transmission electron microscope(HRTEM). XRD results show that the bare and AlF3-coated samples have typical hexagonal α-Na Fe O2 structure, and AlF3-coated layer does not affect the crystal structure of the bare Li1.2(Mn0.54Ni0.16Co0.08)O2. Morphology measurements present that the AlF3 layer with a thickness of 5-7 nm is coated on the surface of the Li1.2(Mn0.54Ni0.16Co0.08)O2 particles.Galvanostatic charge-discharge tests at various rates show that the AlF3-coated Li1.2(Mn0.54Ni0.16Co0.08)O2 has an enhanced electrochemical performance compared with the bare sample. At 1C rate, it delivers an initial discharge capacity of 208.2 m A·h/g and a capacity retention of 72.4% after 50 cycles, while those of the bare Li1.2(Mn0.54Ni0.16Co0.08)O2 are 191.7 m A·h/g and 51.6 %, respectively.展开更多

A rare earth metal oxyfluoride YOF-coated Li[Lio.2Mno.54Ni0.13Co0.13]O2 composites have been synthesized by a simple wet chem- ical method. Crystal structure, micro-morphology and element valence of the pristine and YOF-coated Li[Li0.2Mn0.54Ni0.13Co0.13]O2 materials are characterized by XRD, SEM, TEM, and XPS. The results indicate that all materials exhibit a typical layered structure, and are made up of small and homogenous parti- cles ranging from 100 nm to 200 nm. In addition, YOF layer with a thickness of approximately 3-8 nm is precisely coated on the surface of the Li[Li0.2Mn0.54Ni0.13Co0.13]02. Constant current charge/discharge tests at various current densities show that the electrochemical performance of 2 wt% YOF-coated Li[Li0.2Mn0.54Ni0.13Co0.13]O2 has been improved significantly. 2 wt% YOF-coated Li[Li0.2Mn0.54Ni0.13Co0.13]O2 delivers the highest discharge capacity of 250.4 mAh/g at 20 mA/g among all the samples, and capacity retention of 87% after 100 charge/discharge cycles at 200 mA/g while that of the pristine one is only 81.6%. The superior electrochemical performance of 2wt% YOF-coated sample is ascribed to YOF coating layer, which could not only reduce side reactions between the electrode and liquid electrolyte, but also promote lithium ion migration.展开更多

The morphology, structure, electrochemical performance and thermal stability were characterized by scanning electron microscopy （SEM）, X-ray diffraction （XRD）, cyclic voltammetry（CV）, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy（EIS）, charge/discharge cycling and differential scanning calorimeter （DSC）. SEM analysis shows that Mg3（PO4）2-coating changes the morphologies of their particles and increases the grains size. XRD and CV results show that Mg3（PO4）2-coating powder is homogeneous and has better layered structure than the bare one. Mg3（PO4）2-coating improved high rate discharge capacity and cycle-life performance. The reason why the cycling performance of Mg3（PO4）2-coated sample at 55 ℃ was better than that of room temperature was the increasing of lithium-ion diffusion rate and charge transfer rate with temperature rising. Mg3（PO4）2-coating improved the cathode thermal stability, and the result was consistent with thermal abuse tests using Li-ion cells： the Mg3（PO4）2 coated Li1.05Ni1/3Mn1/3Co1/3O2 cathode did not exhibit thermal runaway with smoke and explosion, in contrast to the cells containing the bare Li1.05Ni1/3Mn1/3Co1/3O2.展开更多

The morphology and structure of the modified cathode material was characterized by SEM, XRD, and Auger electron spectroscopy. The performance of the cells with the modified cathode material was examined, including the cycling stability, the diffusion coefficient under different voltages, and the C-rate discharge. The results showed that the cell composed of the coated cathode material discharged at a large current density, and possesses a stable cycle performance in the range from 3.0 to 4.4 V. It was explained that the rate of Li ion diffusion increased in the cell while using La2O3/Li2O/TiO2-coated LiCoO2 as the cathode and the coating layer may act as a faster ion conductor （La2O3/Li2O/TiO2）.展开更多
