A rare earth metal oxyfluoride YOF-coated Li[Lio.2Mno.54Ni0.13Co0.13]O2 composites have been synthesized by a simple wet chem- ical method. Crystal structure, micro-morphology and element valence of the pristine and YOF-coated Li[Li0.2Mn0.54Ni0.13Co0.13]O2 materials are characterized by XRD, SEM, TEM, and XPS. The results indicate that all materials exhibit a typical layered structure, and are made up of small and homogenous parti- cles ranging from 100 nm to 200 nm. In addition, YOF layer with a thickness of approximately 3-8 nm is precisely coated on the surface of the Li[Li0.2Mn0.54Ni0.13Co0.13]02. Constant current charge/discharge tests at various current densities show that the electrochemical performance of 2 wt% YOF-coated Li[Li0.2Mn0.54Ni0.13Co0.13]O2 has been improved significantly. 2 wt% YOF-coated Li[Li0.2Mn0.54Ni0.13Co0.13]O2 delivers the highest discharge capacity of 250.4 mAh/g at 20 mA/g among all the samples, and capacity retention of 87% after 100 charge/discharge cycles at 200 mA/g while that of the pristine one is only 81.6%. The superior electrochemical performance of 2wt% YOF-coated sample is ascribed to YOF coating layer, which could not only reduce side reactions between the electrode and liquid electrolyte, but also promote lithium ion migration.展开更多

The electrochemically induced phase evolution investigated by a transmission electron microscopy indicates that Li＋ ions deintercalated first from the LiMO2 （M = Mn, Co, Ni） component and then from Li2MnO3 component in the LMNC during the charge process, while Li＋ ions intercalated into Li1-xMO2 component followed by into MnO2 component during the discharge process.展开更多

The results reveal that the Li2Mn2O4 spinel is unstable. At high temperature, it is easy to transform into [Li2-2x]tet[Mn2-xLix]octO4, which accompanies the formation of Li2MnO3 impurities. The phase transition is associated with the transfer of Li+ from tetrahedral 8a sites to octahedral 16d sites. With the increasing sintering temperature from 450 ℃ to 850 ℃, the phase structure varies from lithiated-spinel Li2Mn2O4 to Li4Mn5O12-like to LiMn2O4-like and finally to rock-salt LiMnO2-like. In addition, a way of determining x with average oxidation state of Mn and the content of Li2MnO3 was also demonstrated.展开更多
