There is an enormous drive for moving toward cathode material research in LIBs due to the proposal of zero-emission electric vehicles together with the restriction of cathode materials in design. LiNiMnO (LNMO) attracts great research interests as high-voltage Co-free cathodes in LIBs. However, a more extensive study is required for LNMO due to its poor electrochemical performance, especially at high temperature, because of the instability of the LNMO interface. Herein, we design structural modifications using Mg and Zr to alleviate the above-mentioned drawbacks by limiting Mn dissolution and tailoring interstitial sites (which are shown by structural and electrochemical characterizations). This strategy enhances the cycle life up to 1000 cycles at both 25 and 50 °C. In addition, a thorough characterization by impedance spectroscopy is applied to give an insight into the electronic and ionic transport properties and the intricate phase transitions occurring upon oxidation and reduction.
由于零排放电动汽车的提议以及阴极材料在设计上的限制,锂离子电池(LIBs)的阴极材料研究面临着巨大的推动。LiNiMnO(LNMO)作为LIBs中的高压无钴阴极吸引了大量研究兴趣。然而,由于LNMO的电化学性能较差,特别是在高温下,由于LNMO界面的不稳定性,因此需要对其进行更广泛的研究。在此,我们设计了使用Mg和Zr的结构改性,通过限制Mn溶解和调整间隙位置(通过结构和电化学表征显示)来缓解上述缺点。该策略在25和50°C下均将循环寿命提高至1000次循环。此外,应用阻抗谱进行全面表征,以深入了解电子和离子传输特性以及氧化和还原时发生的复杂相变。
