Abstract

Ultra-high nickel layered oxide cathode material with high energy density is the most promising material to improve the electrochemical performance of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). However, the poor structural stability and severe surface/interface side reactions of the material lead to poor rate performance and cyclic stability, which limits its application in practice. In this paper, the dual-modification strategy of Co doping and La₂O₃ coating is used to meet the above challenges. Co doping can effectively widen layer spacing and reduce Li⁺/Ni²⁺ mixing, and La₂O₃ coating can effectively eliminate the residual alkali on the surface of active material, inhibit the thickening of cathode electrolyte interphase (CEI) film and reduce surface/interface side reactions. Therefore, the modified material (NM90-CL) with excellent electrochemical properties is achieved through the synergistic enhancement of Co doping and La₂O₃ coating. Its capacity retention rate can reach 77.9% after 200 cycles at 1.0 °C and 75.7% after 200 cycles at 5.0 °C. Its reversible capacity can up to 153.5 mAh·g^–1 at 10.0 °C. This dual-modification strategy will provide theoretical guidance and technical support for the synthesis of other high-performance electrode materials.
