Facile and scalable dry surface doping technique to enhance the electrochemical performance of LiNi(0.64)Mn(0.2)Co(0.16)O(2)cathode materials
JOURNAL OF MATERIALS CHEMISTRY A(2020)
Abstract
Lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxide (NMC) is one of the dominant cathode materials in lithium-ion batteries. Here a simple, efficient and scalable surface doping technique is successfully demonstrated, which can be readily used in mass production of cathode materials. For the first time neodymium oxide (Nd2O3) has been employed as the surface doping agent. The Nd-doped NMC shows greatly improved cycling and rate performance, and the enhanced cycling stability has been demonstrated in full pouch cells, with a 17.5% increase in capacity retention after 300 cycles. Fewer cracks have been observed in the doped NMC after cycling, andin situX-ray diffraction reveals the suppressed lattice collapse by Nd doping. Greatly suppressed surface phase change has been confirmed by HR-TEM and EELS. The result suggests great promise in using this dry doping technique to enhance the electrochemical performance of NMC cathodes.
