Abstract
- Cathodes must accommodate the excellent performance of the applied anodes in lithium batteries. Li-rich Mn-based cathode materials with a specific capacity beyond 250 mAh·g<superscript>−1</superscript> are considered some of the most promising cathode materials, although they suffer from some unsolved problems. In this paper, a series of Li<subscript>1.2</subscript>Ni<subscript>0.2</subscript>Mn<subscript>0.6-x</subscript>Al<subscript>x</subscript>O<subscript>2</subscript> cathodes with an in situ-synthesized Li<subscript>2</subscript>CO<subscript>3</subscript> coating layer by a one-step method is utilized to enhance their electrochemical performance by inhibiting the transition from a layered structure to a spinel structure and reducing the generation of Mn<superscript>3+</superscript>. The Li<subscript>1.2</subscript>Ni<subscript>0.2</subscript>Mn<subscript>0.56</subscript>Al<subscript>0.04</subscript>O<subscript>2</subscript>@Li<subscript>2</subscript>CO<subscript>3</subscript> coating sample exhibits an excellent capacity retention rate of 89.5% and a small voltage decay of 1.11 mV per cycle after 200 cycles at 1 C. Lithium-ion full cells composed of Li<subscript>1.2</subscript>Ni<subscript>0.2</subscript>Mn<subscript>0.56</subscript>Al<subscript>0.04</subscript>O<subscript>2</subscript>@Li<subscript>2</subscript>CO<subscript>3</subscript> and graphite show an energy density of 443.7 Wh·kg<superscript>−1</superscript> at 0.1 C, and the capacity retention rate is 95.6% after 200 cycles at 1 C. These results offer prospects for satisfying the high energy density requirements of electric equipment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
