The cathode material, high Nickel content Ni0.7Co0.2Mn0.1 (NCM), was synthesized by coprecipitation with NH4OH used as a complexing agent. The prepared materials are made in the formation of spherical particles of Li(Ni0.7Co0.2Mn0.1)O2 of several micrometers in diameter. Al2O3 was coated by an impregnation method and its content was gradually increased to 1, 2 and 5 wt%. As a result, 1 wt% coated Al2O3 compared to pristine NCM exhibited 82% and 80% retention rates at 5 C and 1 wt% Al2O3 coated NCM recovery at 0.2 C after 5 C showed 100%. In addition, capacity retention of 1 wt% NCM+Al gently decreased in 100 cycle life characteristics, and capacity retention of 95% or more was confirmed.

AbstractLithium-rich layered oxides (LLOs) such as Li1.2Ni0.13Mn0.54Co0.13O2 are suitable cathode materials for future lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). Despite some salient advantages, like low cost, ease of fabrication, high capacity, and higher operating voltage, these materials suffer from low cyclic stability and poor capacity retention. Several different techniques have been proposed to address the limitations associated with LLOs. Herein, we report the surface modification of Li1.2Ni0.13Mn0.54Co0.13O2 by utilizing cheap and readily available silica (SiO2) to improve its electrochemical performance. Towards this direction, Li1.2Ni0.13Mn0.54Co0.13O2 was synthesized utilizing a sol–gel process and coated with SiO2 (SiO2 = 1.0 wt%, 1.5 wt%, and 2.0 wt%) employing dry ball milling technique. XRD, SEM, TEM, elemental mapping and XPS characterization techniques confirm the formation of phase pure materials and presence of SiO2 coating layer on the surface of Li1.2Ni0.13Mn0.54Co0.13O2 particles. The electrochemical measurements indicate that the SiO2-coated Li1.2Ni0.13Mn0.54Co0.13O2 materials show improved electrochemical performance in terms of capacity retention and cyclability when compared to the uncoated material. This improvement in electrochemical performance can be related to the prevention of electrolyte decomposition when in direct contact with the surface of charged Li1.2Ni0.13Mn0.54Co0.13O2 cathode material. The SiO2 coating thus prevents the unwanted side reactions between cathode material and the electrolyte. 1.0 wt% SiO2-coated Li1.2Ni0.13Mn0.54Co0.13O2shows the best electrochemical performance in terms of rate capability and capacity retention.

Li-rich layered oxide cathode materials have become one of the most promising cathode materials for high specific energy lithium-ion batteries owning to its high theoretical specific capacity, low cost, high operating voltage and environmental friendliness. Yet they suffer from severe capacity and voltage attenuation during prolong cycling, which blocks their commercial application. To clarify these causes, we synthesize Li1.5Mn0.55Ni0.4Co0.05O2.5 (Li1.2Mn0.44Ni0.32Co0.04O2) with high-nickel-content cathode material by a solid-sate complexation method, and it manifests a lot slower capacity and voltage attenuation during prolong cycling compared to Li1.5Mn0.66Ni0.17Co0.17O2.5 (Li1.2Mn0.54Ni0.13Co0.13O2) and Li1.5Mn0.65Ni0.25Co0.1O2.5 (Li1.2Mn0.52Ni0.2Co0.08O2) cathode materials. The capacity retention at 1 C after 100 cycles reaches to 87.5% and the voltage attenuation after 100 cycles is only 0.460 V. Combining X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), it indicates that increasing the nickel content not only stabilizes the structure but also alleviates the attenuation of capacity and voltage. Therefore, it provides a new idea for designing of Li-rich layered oxide cathode materials that suppress voltage and capacity attenuation.

Nickel-rich LiNiCoMnO (LNCM811) is a promising lithium-ion battery cathode material, whereas the surface-sensitive issues (i.e., side reaction and oxygen loss) occurring on LNCM811 particles significantly degrade their electrochemical capacity retentions. A uniform LiZrO coating layer can effectively mitigate the problem by preventing these issues. Instead of the normally used weak hydrogen-bonding interaction, we present a covalent interfacial engineering for the uniform LiZrO coating on LiNiCoMnO materials. Results indicate that the strong covalent interactions between citric acid and NiCoMn(OH) precursor effectively promote the adsorption of ZrO coating species on NiCoMn(OH) precursor, which is eventually converted to uniform LiZrO coating layers of about 7 nm after thermal annealing. The uniform LiZrO coating endows LNCM811 cathode materials with an exceptionally high capacity retention of 98.7% after 300 cycles at 1 C. This work shows the great potential of covalent interfacial engineering for improving the electrochemical cycling capability of Ni-rich lithium-ion battery cathode materials.
