X-ray diffraction （XRD）, scanning electron microscopy （SEM） and electrochemical mea- surements were carried out to characterize prepared LiNi_0.5Mn_1.5O_4 cathode material. SEM images show that the LiNi_0.5Mn_1.5O_4 cathode material is constituted by micro-sized spherical particles （with a diameter of around 8 μm）. XRD patterns reveal that the structure of prepared LiNi_0.5Mn_1.5O_4 cathode material belongs to Fd3m space group. Electrochemical tests at 25℃show that the LiNi_0.5Mn_1.5O_4 cathode material prepared after annealing at 600 ℃ has the best electrochemical performances. The initial discharge capacity of prepared cathode material delivers 113.5 mAh·g-1 at 1C rate in the range of 3.50-4.95 V, and the sample retains 96.2% （1.0C） of the initial capacity after 50 cycles. Under different rates with a cutoff voltage range of 3.50-4.95 V at 25℃, the dis- charge capacities of obtained cathode material can be kept at about 145.0 （0.1C）, 126.8 （0.5C）, 113.5 （1.0C） and 112.4mAh·g-1 （2.0C）, the corresponding initial coulomb efficiencies retain above 95.2% （0.1C）, 95.0% （0.5C）, 92.5% （1.0C） and 94.8% （2.0C）, respectively.展开更多

The effects of calcination temperature and transition metal contents on the structure and electrochemical properties of the Li-Ni-Co-Mn-O were systemically studied. The results of XRD and electrochemical performance measurement show that the ideal preparation conditions were to prepare the Li（Ni3/8Co3/8Mn2/8）O2 cathode material calcined at 900℃ for 10 h. The well-ordered Li（Ni3/8Co3/8Mn2/8）O2 synthesized under the optimal conditions has the I003/I104 ratio of 1.25 and the R value of 0.48 and delivers the initial discharge capacity of 172.9 mA·h·g^-1, the discharge capacity of 166.2 mA·h·g^-1 after 20 cycles at 0.2C rate, and the impedance of 558 Ω after the first cycle. The decrease of Ni content results in the decrease of discharge capacity and the bad cycling performance of the Li-Ni-Co-Mn-O cathode materials, but the decreases of Mn content and Co content to a certain extent can improve the electrochemical properties of the Li-Ni-Co-Mn-O cathode materials.展开更多
