Abstract:

Zn-doped Li1.13Ni0.3-xMn0.57ZnxO2 samples were synthesized by co-precipitation method. X-ray diffraction shows that Zn doping decreases the Li+/Ni2+ cation mixing of the material, increases the structure stability and expands the lattice volume of the material which provides more space for lithium ion intercalation/de-intercalation. Electrochemical experiments show that Zn doping decreases the charge transfer resistance of the electrode, improves the reversibility of lithium intercalation and de-intercalation, thus the electrochemical properties of the material are improved. Especially, the Li1.13Ni0.29Mn0.57Zn0.01O2 material with Zn doping of x=0.01 shows the best electrochemical performance with the largest discharge capacity, best rate capability, excellent capacity retention and thermal stability.
