Resumen

Layered Ni-rich oxides have attracted much attention for the positive electrode in lithium-ion batteries due to their low cost and high capacity. However, they still suffer from poor cycling and rate performance, especially at high voltage. In this work, LiNi 0.6 Co 0.2 Mn 0.2 O 2 powders are surface-modified by a Li 2 ZrO 3 coating prepared under either dry air or oxygen. The effect of the coating atmosphere on the electrochemical properties of Li 2 ZrO 3 /LiNi 0.6 Co 0.2 Mn 0.2 O 2 are systematically investigated by multiple structural characterization (synchrotron HRXRD, SEM, TEM, and XPS) and electroanalytical (EIS, SSCV, and GITT) techniques. The Li 2 ZrO 3 coating prepared in oxygen is largely amorphous. It not only provides surface protection against the electrolyte corrosion but also enables faster lithium-ion transport at the interfacial regions. Additionally, oxygen atmosphere facilitates Zr diffusion from the surface coating to the bulk of LiNi 0.6 Co 0.2 Mn 0.2 O 2 , which stabilizes the crystal structure and enhances lithium-ion diffusion. Consequently, LiNi 0.6 Co 0.2 Mn 0.2 O 2 cathodes coated with Li 2 ZrO 3 in oxygen exhibit improved high-voltage cycling stability and high-rate performance.
