Abstract

Li-rich Mn-based Co-free layered oxides (LLOs) are promising cathode materials for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). However, they exhibit capacity loss and low initial Coulombic efficiency. Herein, an F-doped Li1.2Mn0.6Ni0.2O1.9F0.10 material has been prepared by the high-temperature solid-state method, with numerous oxygen vacancies on the surface to accelerate Li + transport. The electrochemical performance of Li1.2Mn0.6Ni0.2O1.9F0.10 considerably improved after the treatment. A high-capacity retention of 86.9 % after 100 charge/discharge cycles at 1C was achieved for Li1.2Mn0.6Ni0.2O1.9F0.10. Results revealed that F doping replaces part of O2−, forming more force between the TM-F bonds (compared to the TM-O bond), which inhibits the cation mixing phenomenon. The layered structure stability of the material is improved after F doping, and the migration energy barrier of Li+ is reduced, which promotes the migration of Li+, thereby improving the electrochemical performance of Li1.2Mn0.6Ni0.2O2.
