Abstract

LiNi0.8Co0.15Al0.05O2 cathode material in lithium-ion batteries has been synthesized in a facile one-step liquid-phase reaction. The effects of sintering on the structural and electrochemical properties of LiNi0.8Co0.15Al0.05O2 are investigated. X-ray diffraction (XRD) test and XRD Rietveld refinement results indicate that LiNi0.8Co0.15Al0.05O2 cathode material prepared by one-step liquid-phase reaction is a hexagonal phase with low Li/Ni mixing degree. Scanning electron microscope and energy-dispersive spectrometer are applied to investigate the morphology of the samples and the distribution of metal ions, respectively. Transmission electron microscope measurement shows good crystallinity with well-fined lattice fringes corresponding to (003) planes. The surface information of the samples is investigated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Electrochemical data demonstrate that the sample sintered at 790 °C exhibits the best electrochemical performance. The sample shows a high initial discharge capacity of 193.5 mAh g−1 at 0.2 C and an accepted cycle performance (84.7% capacity retention after 100 cycles). In addition, it displays outstanding rate capacity (152.5 mAh g−1 at a rate of 10 C). The lithium-ion diffusion coefficients are obtained by different methods. The results of this paper provide a facile method to synthesize Ni-rich layered oxides for lithium-ion batteries.
