摘要:

LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4(LNMO)是一种具有高工作电压(4.7 V)、高能量密度(650 Wh/kg)和成本低廉优势的正极材料。然而受到电解液分解、Jahn-Teller效应和Mn溶解等因素的影响,LNMO正极材料存在容量衰减快、倍率性能差等问题。为此,本工作采用水热法制备了Mg-Cr共掺杂的LMMO材料,研究了Mg、Cr掺杂量对LNMO电化学性能的影响。结果表明,当Mg、Cr掺杂量各为2%时,LMMO电极表现出最为优异的电化学性能。其在0.1C倍率下的放电比容量为137.3 mAh/g;在1C倍率下循环200次后,容量保持率为85.74%,明显高于原始LNMO的116.5 mAh/g和51.82%。此外,Mg-Cr共掺杂的LMMO电极在0.5 C下放电容量可达121.8 mAh/g,在5 C下可达94.3 mAh/g。机理探究表明,Mg和Cr的共掺杂有利于形成无序的Fd3¯m相,提高材料的电导率,降低电极电荷转移电阻。本研究提供了一种改善LNMO性能的简单策略,为高性能锂离子电池正极材料的设计提供了参考。

Abstract:

LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 (LNMO) is a cathode material known for its high operating voltage (4.7 V), high energy density (650 Wh/kg), and low cost. However, owing to factors such as electrolyte decomposition, Jahn-Teller effect, and Mn dissolution, LNMO cathode materials usually demonstrate rapid capacity fading and poor rate capability. To improve their electrochemical performance, we prepared Mg-Cr co-doped LMMO materials via the hydrothermal method and studied the influence of Mg-Cr co-doping content on the electrochemical performance of the LNMO cathode. Our experimental results show that the optimal electrochemical performance is achieved when the doping content of Mg and Cr is 2% each. The Mg-Cr co-doped LMMO cathode exhibits a discharge capacity of 137.3 mAh/g at 0.1C rate and a capacity retention of 85.74% after 200 cycles at 1C rate, markedly outperforming the original LNMO cathode (116.5 mAh/g and 51.82%, respectively). In addition, it delivers capacities of 121.8 mAh/g at 0.5C and 94.3 mAh/g at 5C. Mechanistic analysis shows that Mg-Cr co-doping promotes the formation of a disordered Fd3¯m phase, enhancing the electronic conductivity of LMMO material and reducing the electrochemical polarization and charge transfer resistance of the cathode. This study presents a simple method to improving the electrochemical performance of LNMO cathode and offers valuable insights for designing high-performance lithium-ion battery cathode materials.
