Electronic structural studies on the improved thermal stability of Li(Ni0.8Co0.15Al0.05)O2 by ZrO2 coating for lithium ion batteries
Abstract
The electronic structures of bare and ZrO2-coated Li(Ni0.8Co0.15Al0.05)O2 electrode systems were investigated using a combination of time-resolved X-ray diffraction and soft X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) techniques. The ZrO2 coating on the surface of Li(Ni0.8Co0.15Al0.05)O2 was effective in elevating the onset temperature of the dissociation of charged Li0.33(Ni0.8Co0.15Al0.05)O2, which will enhance the safety of Li-ion cells. Lastly, soft XAS spectra of the Ni LII,III-edge in the partial electron yield mode were obtained, which showed that the enhanced electrochemical properties and thermal stability of the cathode materials by ZrO2 coating can be attributed to the suppression of unwanted Ni oxidation state changes at the surface.
