Improving the electrochemical performance of LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 cathode material by a coating of manganese phosphate
Source abstract
Abstract
In this paper, MnPO4-coated LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4(MP-LNMO) has been successfully synthesized using a simple liquid-phase coating method. The experimental results showed that MP-LNMO with a coating of 1 wt% displayed the best electrochemical performance and cycling stability. The initial specific discharge capacity of the 1 wt% MnPO4-modified LNMO sample was 119.26 mAh g−1at 1 C, with a capacity retention of 84.50% after 200 cycles, which was superior to that of the original LNMO electrode (98.80 mAh g−1). This enhancement is attributed to the fact that MnPO4acts as an excellent protective layer on the surface of the cathode material, effectively preventing the direct contact between the active cathode material and the electrolyte, and reducing the occurrence of side reactions. This demonstrates the potential of the aforementioned coating material for use in high-voltage lithium-ion batteries.Graphical Abstract
