Abstract
AbstractSurface corrosion from electrolyte and reconstruction of layer‐structure LiCoO2 are the most important reasons for capacity decay and charging kinetics limitation. Spinel‐type material forms on the surface of LiCoO2 after cycling, which is more stable than the layer‐structure. To stabilize the surface and suppress the reconstruction, double layer structure Li1.6Mg1.6Sn2.8O8 matching LiCoO2 well is introduced to protect Mg‐doped LiCoO2 and restrain the structure change. With a simple surface coating of SnO2 and further high temperature treatment, Mg2+ in LiCoO2 and partly Li+ are extracted out and reacted with SnO2 to form double layer Li1.6Mg1.6Sn2.8O8. Meanwhile, Co3+ in pristine LiCoO2 is partly oxidized and electronic conductivity enhanced after surface modification. The Li1.6Mg1.6Sn2.8O8 coating efficiently stabilizes the surface structure of LiCoO2, with less structure change, less cracks appearing on the surface, and much better cycling performance. In addition, stable surface and higher electronic conductivity of LiCoO2 lead to better rate performance.
