摘要
LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 (LNMO) cathode materials were coated by TiO2 to enhance electrochemical performance. Structural characterization and electrochemical performance evaluation of the prepared materials were studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy system (XPS), galvanostatic charge-discharge, cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) tests. The results indicate that there is a TiO2 layer on the surface of LNMO, and the LNMO-T-2 sample coated with w = 1.0% TiO2 exhibits the best rate capability and cycling stability. The corresponding discharge capacities of LNMO-T-2 were 102.3 and 72.1 mAh∙g-1, respectively, which showed an improvement of 14.3% and 33.5% at 5 and 7 C (1 C = 140 mAh∙g-1) compared with raw LNMO. Moreover, LNMO-T-2 kept 87.9% discharge capacity after 200 cycle charge-discharged tests at 2 C, which was higher than raw LMNO (82.7%). The improvement was due to TiO2 can reduce electrode polarization and charge-transfer resistance (Rct). © 2019, Editorial Board of Journal of Chemical Engineering of Chinese Universities".
