Abstract

In this work, Lithium rich layered oxide Li1.17Ni0.2Co0.05Mn0.58O2 (LNCMO) is prepared and coated with Li3V2(PO4)3 (LVP) by a chemical deposition method. The surface modification with LVP is introduced into Li-rich layered oxides LNCMO for the first time. After 100 cycles of charging and discharging at various rates, the Li3V2(PO4)3-coated Li1.17Ni0.2Co0.05Mn0.58O2 (LVP-coated LNCMO) (5 wt%) still provides a large capacity of 261.4 mAh g-1, much higher than the pristine LNCMO (211.5 mAh g-1). At 5 C rate, the LVP-coated LNCMO exhibits a stable cyclic capacity of 153.4 mAh g-1, higher than 114.1 mAh g-1 of the pristine LNCMO. The electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) analysis demonstrates the LVP coating layer can suppress interaction between the cathode surface and the electrolyte and enhance the kinetics of lithium-ion diffusion, contributing to the stable cyclic performance with more cyclic capacity as well as at the high current density.
