Abstract

AlF3-coating is attempted to improve the performance of LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 cathode materials for Li-ion batteries. The prepared powders are characterized by scanning electron microscope, powder X-ray diffraction, charge/discharge, and impedance. The coated LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 samples show higher discharge capacity, better rate capability, and higher capacity retention than the uncoated samples. Among the coated samples, 1.0 mol% AlF3-coated sample shows highest capacity after charge–discharged at 30 mA/g for 3 cycles, but 4.0 mol% coated sample exhibits the highest capacity and cycling stability when cycled at high rate of 150 and 300 mA/g. The 40th cycle discharge capacity at 300 mA/g current still remains 114.8 mAh/g for 4.0 mol% AlF3-coated LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4, while only 84.3 mAh/g for the uncoated sample.
