Enhancing cyclic performance of lithium-rich manganese-based cathode via in-situ co-doping of magnesium and fluorine

Lithium-rich manganese-based materials (LRM) are regarded as promising next-generation commercial cathodes due to their exceptionally high capacities and working voltages. However, lithium-rich manganese-based ma-terials are plagued with inferior cyclic stability and voltage fading, which greatly stifled their commercial transitions. In this work, the dopant F and Mg uniformly distributed lithium-rich manganese-based cathode material is firstly prepared via an in-situ co-precipitation and high-temperature calcination method. The F and Mg co-doped sample can demonstrate excellent cyclic stability (88.56%, after 100 cycles at 1 C), and higher initial discharge and coulombic efficiency by reducing the transition metal (TM) loss and structure stabilization. Thus, this work presents crucial findings in the development of lithium-rich manganese-based materials, which pro-vides a novel doping route and a vital method of cation-anion co-doping to prepare high-performing cathodes.
