  • 摘要: LiNi0.6Co0.2Mn0.2O2 锂离子电池正极材料由于其较高的能量密度和容量密度获得了广泛的关注。但是这一材料在较高的截止电压下,循环寿命难以令人满意。针对这一问题,该文提出了利用原子层沉积的方法在其表面包覆氧化镁薄膜以改善其高电压下的循环稳定性。研究表明,在4.5 V和4.7 V的截止电压下,该材料的循环性能和倍率性能均获得了较大的提高。相比于原始材料,经过100个循环,在4.7 V的截止电压下,改性后的材料的容量仍可达到158 mAh·g−1

     

    Abstract: As one of the most promising cathode materials for high energy density lithium ion batteries, LiNi0.6Co0.2Mn0.2O2 with high reversible capacity suffers poor cycling performances, especially at high cutoff potentials. To address this challenge, in this study, an atomic layer deposition is utilized to design controllable MgO coating layers onto LiNi0.6Co0.2Mn0.2O2 cathode material. It is confirmed that the optimized LiNi0.6Co0.2Mn0.2O2 cathode shows an improved electrochemical performance comparing with the pristine material at the cutoff potentials of 4.5 V as well as 4.7 V. After 100 cycles, the LiNi0.6Co0.2Mn0.2O2 with MgO coating displays the reversible capacities of 157 mAh·g−1 and 158 mAh·g−1 at the cutoff potential of 4.5 V and 4.7 V, respectively, which is higher than those of the pristine one (131 mAh·g−1 and 144 mAh·g−1). This study demonstrates that the ALD derived MgO coating layer shows some promising potentials to improve LiNi0.6Co0.2Mn0.2O2 performance for lithium ion batteries. This is mainly due to the effective protection of MgO layer to the material surface, that is, the MgO coating can stabilize the interface and block the metal ion dissolution by reducing the direct connection between LiNi0.6Co0.2Mn0.2O2 and electrolyte.
