Abstract

To suppress the capacity fade of Li-rich Li1.2Ni0.13Co0.13Mn0.54O2 material as cathode materials for lithium-ion battery, we introduce a LiF coating layer on the surface to improve the cycling performance of Li1.2Ni0.13Co0.13Mn0.54O2 material. The modified sample shows a capacity of 163.2 mAh g−1 with a capacity retention of 95% after 100 cycles at a current density of 250 mA g−1, while the pristine sample only delivers a capacity of 129.9 mAh g−1 with a capacity retention of 82%. Compared with the pristine material, the LiF-modified sample exhibits an obvious enhancement in the electrochemical performance, which will be very beneficial for this material to be commercialized on the new energy vehicles and other related areas.
