The structure and electrochemical properties of prepared cathode materials were measured using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), charge-discharge tests, cyclic voltammetry (CV), and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The measured results indicate that surface coating with 1.0 wt% Cr 2 O 3 does not affect the LiNi 1/3 Co 1/3 Mn 1/3 O 2 crystal structure (α-NaFeO 2 ) of the cathode material compared to the pristine material, the surfaces of LiNi 1/3 Co 1/3 Mn 1/3 O 2 samples are covered with Cr 2 O 3 well, and the LiNi 1/3 Co 1/3 Mn 1/3 O 2 material coated with Cr 2 O 3 has better electrochemical performance under a high cutoff voltage of 4.5 V. Moreover, at room temperature, the initial discharging capacity of LiNi 1/3 Co 1/3 Mn 1/3 O 2 material coated with 1.0 wt.% Cr 2 O 3 at 0.5C reaches 169 mAh·g 1 and the capacity retention is 83.1% after 30 cycles, while that of the bare LiNi 1/3 Co 1/3 Mn 1/3 O 2 is only 160.8 mAh·g 1 and 72.5%. Finally, the coated samples are found to display the improved electrochemical performance, which is mainly attributed to the suppression of the charge-transfer resistance at the interface between the cathode and the electrolyte.展开更多

The morphology, structural and composition of the as-papered samples synthesized at different calcination temperatures were investigated. The results indicate that calcination temperature of the sample at 850℃ can improve the integrity of structural significantly. The effect of calcination temperature varying from 750℃ to 950℃ on the electrochemical performance of Li[Ni1/3Mn1/3Co1/3]O2, cathode material of lithiumion batteries, has been investigated. The results show that Li[Ni1/3Mn1/3Co1/3]O2 calcined at 850℃ possesses a higher capacity retention and better rate capability than other samples. The reversible capacity is up to 178.6 mA.h.g-1, and the discharge capacity still remains 176.3 mA-h.g-1 after 30 cycles. Moreover, our strategy provides a simple and highly versatile route in fabricating cathode materials for lithium-ion batteries.展开更多

The physical and electrochemical behaviors of Li[Ni1/3Mn1/3Co1/3]O2 were characterized by X-ray diffraction （XRD）, scanning electron microscopy （SEM）, field emission scanning electron microscopy （FESEM） and electrochemical charge/discharge cycling tests. The results show that the difference in pretreatment process results in the difference in compound Li[Ni1/3Co1/3Mn1/3]O2 structure, morphology and the electrochemical characteristics. The Li[Ni1/3Mn1/3Co1/3]O2 prepared by solution phase route maintains the uniform spherical morphology of the [Ni1/3Co1/3Mn1/3]3O4, and it exhibits a higher capacity retention and better rate capability than that prepared by ball mill method. The initial discharge capacity of this sample reaches 178 mA-h/g and the capacity retention after 50 cycles is 98.7% at a current density of 20 mA/g. Moreover, it delivers high discharge capacity of 135 mA-h/g at a current density of 1 000 mA/g.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 effects of the coating on rate capability and cycle life at high cut-off voltage are investigated by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and galvanostatic measurements. The element ratio of Ni:Mn:Co is tested by inductively-coupled plasma spectrometer(ICP) analysis and it testified to be 1:1:1. It is indicated that Ni3(PO4)2-coated Li Ni1/3Co1/3Mn1/3O2 has an outstanding capacity retention, where 99% capacity retention is maintained after 10 cycles at 5C discharge rate between 2.7 V and 4.6 V. The electrochemical impedance spectroscopy(EIS) results show that the current exchange density i0 of the coated sample is higher than that of Li Ni1/3Co1/3Mn1/3O2, which is beneficial to its electrochemical performances. All the conclusions show that the Ni3(PO4)2coating can prominently enhance the high rate performance of the Li Ni1/3Co1/3Mn1/3O2, especially at high cut-off voltage.展开更多

Meantime, its thermal kinetic parameters were calculated by Kissinger＇s and Ozawa＇s method. As observed by DSC/TG, two exothermic peaks at 239 and 313℃ in washed cathode （4.6 V）, were attributed to two steps of oxygen evolution. More importantly, the temperature of its oxygen release processes decreased obviously compared with that charged to 2.8 V. Activation energy （E） for the first and second oxygen evolution, both of which were assumed closely to be the first order reaction, between 200 and 350℃ in Lio.2o4NilnCol/3Mnl/3O2-based electrode were calculated as 113.63 and 158.13 kJ.mo1-1, respectively and the corresponding Arrhenius pre-exponential factors （A） of 1.05 × 10^11 and 6.46× 10^13 s-1 were also obtained. The different energy barrier of such two steps of oxygen evolution should probably be ascribed to the different bond energy of M--O （M=Mn, Co, Ni）.展开更多
