Improvement of electrochemical properties of LiNi1/3Mn1/3Co1/3O2 by coating with La0.4Ca0.6CoO3

In this paper, La_0.4Ca_0.6CoO₃-coated LiNi_1/3Mn_1/3Co_1/3O₂ is successfully prepared by the sol–gel method associated with microwave pyrolysis method. The structure and electrochemical properties of the La_0.4Ca_0.6CoO₃-coated LiNi_1/3Co_1/3Mn_1/3O₂ are investigated by using X-ray diffraction (XRD), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and charge/discharge tests. XRD analyses show that the La_0.4Ca_0.6CoO₃ coating does not change the structure of LiNi_1/3Co_1/3Mn_1/3O₂. The electrochemical performance studies demonstrate that 2 wt.% La_0.4Ca_0.6CoO₃-coated LiNi_1/3Co_1/3Mn_1/3O₂ powders exhibit the best electrochemical properties, with an initial discharge capacity of 156.9 mAh g^–1 and capacity retention of 98.9 % after 50 cycles when cycled at a current density of 0.2 C between 2.75 and 4.3 V. La_0.4Ca_0.6CoO₃ coating can improve the rate performance because of the enhancement of the surface electronic/ionic transportation by the coating layer. EIS results suggest that the coating La_0.4Ca_0.6CoO₃ plays an important role in suppressing the increase of cell impedance with cycling especially for the increase of charge-transfer resistance.     

Improvement of high-voltage cycling behavior of Li(Ni1/3Co1/3Mn1/3)O2 cathodes by Mg, Cr, and Al substitution

To improve the electrochemical properties of Li[Ni_1/3Co_1/3Mn_1/3]O₂ at high charge end voltage (4.6 V), a series of the mixed transition metal compounds, Li(Ni_1/3Co_{1/3 − x} Mn_1/3M _x )O₂ (M = Mg, Cr, Al; x = 0.05), were synthesized via hydroxide coprecipitation method. The effects of doping Mg, Cr, and Al on the structure and the electrochemical performances of Li[Ni_1/3Co_1/3Mn_1/3]O₂ were compared by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), galvanostatic charge–discharge tests, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The XRD results show that all the samples keep layered structures with R3m space group as the Li[Ni_1/3Co_1/3Mn_1/3]O₂. SEM images show that all the compounds have spherical shapes and the Cr-doped sample has the largest particle size. Furthermore, galvanostatic charge–discharge tests confirm that the Cr-doped electrode shows improved cycling performance than the undoped material. The capacity retention of Li(Ni_1/3Co_{1/3 − 0.05}Mn_1/3Cr_0.05)O₂ is 97% during 50 cycles at 2.8∼4.6 V. The improved cycling performance at high voltage can be attributed to the larger particle size and the prevention of charge transfer resistance (R _ct) increase during cycling.
