Abstract

In this paper, Li(Ni_1/3Mn_1/3Co_1/3)O₂ (NMC333) and Li(Ni_0.5Mn_0.3Co_0.2)O₂ (NMC532) have been subjected to a phosphoric acid (H₃PO₄) solution treatment to form a thin Li₃PO₄ coating on their surfaces. The Li₃PO₄ coating formed is found to be very potent in enhancing the specific capacity of the first discharge as well as the rate capability and capacity retention in the subsequent charge/discharge cycles for both NMC333 and NMC532. The specific capacity of the first discharge for NMC532 has been increased drastically from ~160 mA h g^–1 for pristine NMC532 to ~250 mA h g^–1 for Li₃PO₄-coated counterpart at 0.1C and such a large capacity enhancement is retained throughout the subsequent cycles at 1C. The final specific capacity of Li₃PO₄-coated NMC532 is 187 mA h g^–1 after 100 cycles at 1C, whereas the corresponding value of pristine NMC532 is only 50 mA h g^–1. The rate capability has also been improved significantly with Li₃PO₄-coated NMC532 exhibiting ~150 mA h g^–1 capacity at 6C while pristine NMC532 showing zero capacity. Similar improvements have also been achieved with NMC333. These results demonstrate that the H₃PO₄ treatment is a facile and general method to improve the electrochemical properties of NMCs with different compositions and can be utilizedmore » for practical applications.« less

Boosting the cycling stability of Ni-rich layered oxide cathode by dry coating of ultrastable Li₃V₂(PO₄)₃ nanoparticles

Journal Article Wang, Dongdong ; Yan, Qizhang ; Li, Mingqian ; ... - Nanoscale

Nickel (Ni)-rich layered oxides such as LiNi_0.6Co_0.2Mn_0.2O₂ (NCM622) represent one of the most promising candidates for next-generation high-energy lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). However, the pristine Ni-rich cathode materials usually suffer from poor structural stability during cycling. In this work, we demonstrate a simple but effective approach to improve the cycling stability of the NCM622 cathode by dry coating of ultrastable Li₃V₂(PO₄)₃-carbon (LVP-C) nanoparticles, which leads to a robust composite cathode (NCM622/LVP-C) without sacrificing the specific energy density compared with pristine NCM622. The optimal NCM622/LVP-C composite presents a high specific capacity of 162 mA h g^-1 at 0.5 C and excellent cyclingmore »« less

Effect of Cationic (Na⁺) and Anionic (F^–) Co-Doping on the Structural and Electrochemical Properties of LiNi_1/3Mn_1/3Co_1/3O₂ Cathode Material for Lithium-Ion Batteries

Journal Article Wang, Hua ; Hashem, Ahmed M. ; Abdel-Ghany, Ashraf E. ; ... - International Journal of Molecular Sciences (Online)

Elemental doping for substituting lithium or oxygen sites has become a simple and effective technique to improve the electrochemical performance of layered cathode materials. Compared with single-element doping, this work presents an unprecedented contribution to the study of the effect of Na⁺/F^– co-doping on the structure and electrochemical performance of LiNi_1/3Mn_1/3Co_1/3O₂. The co-doped Li_1-zNa_zNi_1/3Mn_1/3Co_1/3O_2-zF_z (z = 0.025) and pristine LiNi_1/3Co_1/3Mn_1/3O₂ materials were synthesized via the sol–gel method using EDTA as a chelating agent. Structural analyses, carried out by X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, revealed that the Na⁺ and F^– dopants were successfully incorporated into the Li andmore »« less

Vertical Co₉S₈ hollow nanowall arrays grown on a Celgard separator as a multifunctional polysulfide barrier for high-performance Li–S batteries

Journal Article He, Jiarui ; Chen, Yuanfu ; Manthiram, Arumugam - Energy & Environmental Science

Lithium–sulfur (Li–S) batteries have been regarded as one of the most promising next-generation energy-storage devices, due to their low cost and high theoretical energy density (2600 W h kg^-1). However, the severe dissolution of lithium polysulfides (LiPSs) and the fatal shuttle effect of the sulfur cathode seriously hinder the practical applications of Li–S batteries. To address such issues, we present here, for the first time, a novel metal organic framework (MOF)-derived Co₉S₈ nanowall array with vertical hollow nanoarchitecture and high electrical conductivity, which is grown in situ on a Celgard separator (Co₉S₈–Celgard) via a feasible and scalable liquid-reaction approach, asmore »« less
