Li-rich Mn-based oxides are regarded as the most promising new-generation cathode materials, but their practical application is greatly hindered by structure collapse and capacity degradation. Herein, a rock salt phase is epitaxially constructed on the surface of Li-rich Mn-based cathodes through Mo doping to improve their structural stability. The heterogeneous structure composed of a rock salt phase and layered phase is induced by Mo enriched on the particle surface, and the strong Mo-O bonding can enhance the TM-O covalence. Therefore, it can stabilize lattice oxygen and inhibit the side reaction of the interface and structural phase transition. The discharge capacity of 2% Mo-doped samples (Mo 2%) displays 279.67 mA h g at 0.1 C (vs 254.39 mA h g (pristine)), and the discharge capacity retention rate of Mo 2% is 79.4% after 300 cycles at 5 C (vs 47.6% (pristine)).
富锂锰基氧化物被认为是最有前途的新一代正极材料,但其实际应用受到结构坍塌和容量衰减的极大阻碍。在此,通过钼掺杂在富锂锰基正极表面外延构建岩盐相,以提高其结构稳定性。颗粒表面富集的钼诱导出由岩盐相和层状相组成的异质结构,且强的Mo-O键能增强过渡金属-氧(TM-O)共价性。因此,它能稳定晶格氧并抑制界面副反应和结构相变。2%钼掺杂样品(Mo 2%)在0.1 C下的放电容量为279.67 mA h/g(原始样品为254.39 mA h/g),Mo 2%在5 C下循环300次后的放电容量保持率为79.4%(原始样品为47.6%)。
