The bared and coated LiMn1/3Co1/3Ni1/3O2 was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD),scanning electron microscopy (SEM),cyclic voltammogram (CV) and galvanotactic charge-discharge test. The results show that the coating layer has no effect on the crystal structure,only coating on the surface; the 1.0 wt% CeO2-coated LiCo1/3Ni1/3Mn1/3O2 exhibits better discharge capacity and cycling performance than the bared LiCo1/3Ni1/3Mn1/3O2. The discharge capacity of 1.0 wt% CeO2-coated cathode is 182.5 mAh.g-1 at a current density of 20 mA.g-1,in contrast to 165.8 mAh.g-1of the bared sample. The discharge capacity retention of 1.0 wt% CeO2-coated sample after 12 cycles reaches 93.2%,in comparison with 86.6% of the bared sample. CV results show that the CeO2 coating could suppress phase transitions and prevent the surface of cathode material from direct contact with the electrolyte,thus enhance the electro-chemical performance of the coated material.展开更多
