Title: Surface-modified Li[Li0.2Ni0.17Co0.07Mn0.56]O2 nanoparticles with MgF2 as cathode for Li-ion battery

Abstract

Li-rich layered materials hold lots of promise as cathode for next-generation high performance Li-ion batteries. Here, surface-modified layer-structured Li[Li0.2Ni0.17Co0.07Mn0.56]O2 (Li-rich) nanoparticles are employed as cathode for Li storage and transport studies. Moreover, our results demonstrate that 1 wt.% MgF2-modified Li-rich electrode exhibits the best cycling capability, with capacity retention ratio of 86% after 50 cycles, much higher than that of pristine one (only 66%). In the meantime, the 1 wt.% MgF2 surface modified Li-rich electrode shows superior rate performance and thermal abuse treatments as well. Subsequent investigation indicates that the coated MgF2 layer can suppress the undesirable growth of solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) film and enhance the structure stability upon cycling. Finally, this coating technique provides the potentially rewarding avenue towards the development of high capacity Li-ion cathodes.
