Abstract: | Layered LiNi1/3Co1/3Mn1/3O2 cathode material is synthesized via a sol-gel method and subsequently surface-modified with Eu2O3 layer by a wet chemical process. The effect of Eu2O3 coating on the electrochemical performances and thermal stability of LiNi1/3Co1/3Mn1/3O2@Eu2O3 cells is investigated systematically by the charge/discharge testing, cyclic voltammograms, AC impedance spectroscopy, and DSC measurements, respectively. In comparison, the Eu2O3-coated sample demonstrates better electrochemical performances and thermal stability than that of the pristine one. After 100 cycles at 1C, the Eu2O3-coated LiNi1/3Co1/3Mn1/3O2 cathode demonstrates stable cyclability with capacity retention of 92.9 %, which is higher than that (75.5 %) of the pristine one in voltage range 3.0–4.6 V. Analysis from the electrochemical measurements reveals that the remarkably improved performances of the surface-modified composites are mainly ascribed to the presence of Eu2O3-coating layer, which could efficiently suppress the undesirable side reaction and increasing impedance, and enhance the structural stability of active material. |
