摘要
Li-rich oxides are considered as the most commercial potential cathode materials due to the high theoretical specific discharge capacity. Here, ZrO_(2) in different crystalline states are applied as the coating layers to enhance the electrochemical performance of hollow Li[Li_(0.2)Mn_(0.54)Ni_(0.13)Co_(0.13)]O_(2) materials.Meanwhile, a series of characterizations(XRD, SEM, TEM, EDX etc.) are conducted to compare the effects of ZrO_(2) coating layer with different crystalline states on the host material. The results elucidate that the Li-rich Mn-based material with the polycrystal ZrO_(2) coating layer has a slight advantage in rate performance, while the host material with the single crystal ZrO_(2)-coating layer has a better cycling performance and effectively suppresses voltage decay with the effect of excellently inhibiting layered to spinel-like phase transition and metal dissolution during charging and discharging process.
