Description
Summary:The layered Nb -doped LiNi Co Mn O (NCM) oxide cathode materials are successfully synthesized through introducing Nb O into the precursor Ni Co Mn (OH) during the lithiation process. The results refined by GSAS software present that the Nb -doped samples possess the perfect crystal structure with broader Li diffusion pathways. Moreover, the morphology characterized by scanning electron microscope displays the compact secondary particles packed by smaller primary particles under the effect of Nb . The excellent electrochemical properties are also acquired from the Nb -doped samples, in which the optimal rate performance and cycling stability are performed for NCM-1.0 when up to 1.0 mol % of Nb O (based on the precursor) is added. Benefited from the introduction of Nb , the cell assembled with the NCM-1.0 electrode retains higher capacity retention of 86.6 % at 1.0 C and 25 °C, and 71.7 % at 1.0 C and 60 °C after 200cycles. Moreover, it also delivers higher discharge specific capacity of 154.6 mAh g at 5.0 C. Therefore, the Nb -doping strategy may open an effective route for optimizing nickel-rich oxide cathode materials, which is worth popularizing for the enhancement of the electrochemical performance of nickel-rich cathodes for lithium-ion batteries.
