This low-temperature strategy of synthesizing single-crystal LiNi 0.8Co 0.1Mn 0.1O 2 rods should be able to provide a feasible method for synthesizing other single-crystal Ni-rich cathode materials with excellent electrochemical performances for LIB.Īrmand, M. These superior electrochemical properties should be related to the monodispersed micron scaled morphology which not only decreases the contact area between electrode and electrolyte but also mitigates the formation of microcracks. The cycling stability at high cut-off voltage is also outstanding. When charge-discharged at 1 C for 100 cycles, discharge capacity of 178.1 mAh/g with the capacity retention of 95.1% are still obtained. When sintered at 750 ☌ with 50% Li-excess, the cathode material delivered an initial discharge capacity of 226.9 mAh/g with Coulombic efficiency of 91.2% at 0.1 C (1 C = 200 mA/g) in the voltage range of 2.8–4.3 V.

When used as the cathode material for LIBs, the as-prepared LiNi 0.8Co 0.1Mn 0.1O 2, with ordered layered-structure and low degree of cation mixing, shows excellent electrochemical performances. Compared with conventional synthesis methods, these LiNi 0.8Co 0.1Mn 0.1O 2 rods were calcined at a low temperature with excessive lithium sources, which not only reduces the sintering temperature but also ensures the mono-dispersed micrometer-scaled particle distribution. To deal with these issue, single-crystal pm-sized LiNi 0.8Co 0.1Mn 0.1O 2 rods was synthesized by a hydrothermal method. However, the anisotropic lattice volume changes linked to their α-NaFeO 2 structured crystal grains bring about poor cycle performances for conventionally produced NCM materials. With high reversible capacities of more than 200 mAh/g, Ni-rich layered oxides LiO 2 ( x ≥ 0.6) serve as the most promising cathode materials for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs).
