Abstract

Li_1.2Mn_0.54Ni_0.13Co_0.13O₂ lithium-rich manganese-based cathode materials were prepared by sol-gel method, then coated with Al₂O₃ by uniform precipitation method, which further characterized by means of XRD, TEM and electrochemical properties analysis. Results show that the coated material still has the layered structure as its original status, Al₂O₃ was uniformly coated on the surface of the Li_1.2Mn_0.54Ni_0.13Co_0.13O₂ particles to form a nano-scale coating. The initial discharge capacity of the Li_1.2Mn_0.54Ni_0.13Co_0.13O₂ powder coated with 0.7% Al₂O₃ was 251.3 mAh/g under the condition of 0.1 C and 2.0~4.8 V. The first coulombic efficiency is 76.1%, and the capacity retention rate is 92.9% after 100 cycles., and the coating also effectively suppresses the voltage decay during the cycle. The proper amount of Al₂O₃ coating can effectively improve the electrochemical performance of the cathode material.

Key words: inorganic non-metallic materials Li_1.2Mn_0.54Ni_0.13Co_0.13O₂ cathode material Al₂O₃ coating electrochemical performance
