Abstract

Li 2 MnO 3 stabilized LiNi 1/3 Co 1/3 Mn 1/3 O 2 cathode materials are discussed by xLi 2 MnO 3 ·(1 - x)LiNi 1/3 Co 1/3 Mn 1/3 O 2 (x = 0.3 and 0.7) solid solutions. The solid solutions were synthesized by annealing the mixing LiNO 3 , Mn(NO 3 ) 2 and LiNi 1/3 Co 1/3 Mn 1/3 O 2 powder at 900 C for 12 h, and it was found that the cathode particle size increased from 200-300 to 300-500 nm. The pristine LiNi 1/3 Co 1/3 Mn 1/3 O 2 showed the 30th discharge capacity of 174.5 mAh g -1 . Our results indicated that the introduction of Li 2 MnO 3 in the cathode could increase performance. 0.3Li 2 MnO 3 ·0.7LiNi 1/3 Co 1/3 Mn 1/3 O 2 cathode shows higher discharge of 182.0 mAh g -1 in the 30th cycle. And the discharge capacity of 214.1 mAh g -1 was obtained when the Li 2 MnO 3 content increased to 0.7. Moreover, the cyclic performance at 55 C was also increased by Li 2 MnO 3 . For instance, the discharge capacities were 191.2 mAh g -1 (x = 0.3) and 229.3 mAh g -1 (x = 0.7) and the capacity retentions are 94.9% and 91.4% after 40 cycles, respectively. The DFT calculations show that stable Li 2 MnO 3 -enriched layer is as a result of enhanced performance.
