Abstract

Li-rich layered oxide cathodes have gained much attention due to their high specific capacity, high operating voltage, and environmental friendliness. However, poor rate performance, rapid capacity and voltage decay during cycling have hindered its commercial application. In this work, a Fe/Ti integrated modification strategy is proposed to construct a LiFeTiO4 spinel phase coating on the surface of Li1.2Mn0.54Ni0.13Co0.13O2, effectively reducing interfacial side reactions and suppressing the irreversible oxygen release, while doping with Fe3+ and Ti4+ ions can effectively broaden the lithium diffusion channel and enhance the structural stability. As a result, the modified sample with 2 wt% of Fe/Ti demonstrates excellent cycling stability with a superior capacity retention of 91% after 400 cycles at 1C and good rate performance with a high specific discharge capacity of 216 mAh g−1 at 2C. Moreover, the initial Coulombic efficiency of the modified sample is also improved. This integrated modification strategy offers a new design to promote the large-scale application of Li-rich Mn-based cathode materials.
