The Li-rich cathode material for long cycle performance and long-term storage performance is a challenge for next-generation lithium-ion batteries due to the rapid capacity degradation over cycling and the formation of residual lithium on the surface during long-term storage. Herein, an elevated performance of Li 1.2 Mn 0.54 Ni 0.13 Co 0.13 O 2 materials via CeO 2 inlay is reported, which was prepared from Li 1.2 Mn 0.54 Ni 0.13 Co 0.13 O 2 by sol-gel inlay with CeO 2 . It was proved by scanning electron microscopy, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy that cerium oxide cladding not only covered the surface of the material but also diffused into the interior of the material change crystal structure. Cerium oxide on the cladding not only reduces the material's contact with water and carbon dioxide in the air, but also prevents the material from being corroded by electrolyte during electrochemical test. The position of the transition metal atom is replaced Ce atoms, which increases the unit cell volume and the stability of the Li-rich material during the cycling. The results show that the storage property and the electrochemical cycling property of the material have been improved obviously. The CeO 2 inlaid lithium rich material discharged 204.6 mAh/g for the first time at the current of 1C, and 164.4 mAh/g after 150 charge and discharge cycles with corresponding capacity retention rate of 80.35%, compared with the retention rate of 57.26% for pristine Li-rich material capacity. After being stored in humid air for 40 days, the CeO 2 inlaid lithium-rich material showed better electrochemical performance than the pristine one. It is powerfully demonstrated that the CeO 2 inlay strategy here holds huge promise for surface modification of electrode materials for lithium-ion batteries.

LiNi 0.915 Co 0.075 Al 0.01 O 2 (NCA) with Zr(OH) 4 coating is demonstrated as high performance cathode material for lithium ion batteries (LIBs). The coated materials are synthesized via a simple dry coating method of NCA with Zr(OH) 4 powders, and then characterized with scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Experimental results show that amorphous Zr(OH) 4 powders have been successfully coated on the surface of spherical NCA particles, exhibiting improved electrochemical performance . 0.50 wt% Zr(OH) 4 coated NCA delivers a capacity of 197.6 mAh/g at the first cycle and 154.3 mAh/g after 100 cycles with a capacity retention of 78.1% at 1 C rate. In comparison, the pure NCA shows a capacity of 194.6 mAh/g at the first cycle and 142.5 mAh/g after 100 cycles with a capacity retention of 73.2% at 1 C rate. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) results show that the coated material exhibits a lower resistance, indicating that the coating layer can efficiently suppress transition metals dissolution and decrease the side reactions at the surface between the electrode and electrolyte. Therefore, surface coating with amorphous Zr(OH) 4 is a simple and useful method to enhance the electrochemical performance of NCA-based materials for the cathode of LIBs.

High-nickel layered cathode materials for lithium-ion batteries have received widespread attention in new energy vehicles for their excellent specific energy and cost advantages, and are considered to be the most promising cathode materials for high-energy density lithium-ion batteries. Despite its many advantages, poor thermal stability and rapid capacity degradation have greatly limited its large-scale application. Ion doping is considered to be an effective way to improve its drawbacks, and in this paper, a series of W-doped LiNi 0.9 Co 0.1 O 2 cathode materials were prepared using WO 3 as a tungsten source. Among them, 1 mol% W doping was the most effective, and its reversible capacity of 204.44 mA g −1 still had 93.25 % capacity retention after 100 this cycles at 1C. Combined with DFT calculations , it is found that the introduction of W does not change the original layered structure and the material transitions from semi-metallic to metallic at lower doping concentrations, resulting in more electrons occupying the Fermi energy levels to enhance its electrical conductivity and leading to an elevated spin state and a lower oxidation state of Ni.

A one-step synthesis method is developed to prepare the Li[Ni 0.5 Co 0.2 Mn 0.3 ]O 2 (NCM 523) cathode with uniform tungsten-coating layer for lithium-ion battery . Such modified material shows similar properties with the bare NCM 523 in terms of the primary particles, secondary structure , and specific capacity. With W coating layer , the NCM 523 gives remarkable improvement in the long-term capacity retention in the half-cell testing, which is sharply inconsistent with the result from the full-battery tests, indicating a contradiction between the half-cell and full-battery tests in some case. After further investigations, such conflict between the half-cell and full-cell tests in evaluating the W-coating strategy is attributed to the dissolution of Li 2 WO 4 layer in the electrolyte, which probably destroys the solid electrolyte interface (SEI) on the graphite anode and irreversibly consumes the active lithium ions for renovating SEI in full-cell testing. These results will benefit researchers in the area of lithium-ion batteries to fully understand the differences between the half-cell and full-cell testing, and develop the effective strategies for cathode modifications.

A micro-nano combined composite with Li-Si alloy nano-domains in three-dimensional carbon network was prepared as a novel electrode material. The carbon network constrained the volume contraction and promoted effectively charge transfer of the whole active material. Meanwhile, the abundant interfaces between Li-Si alloy and carbon bound by Li-C ionic bonds, not only enhanced the delithiation at interface but also ensured the structural integrity. The present composite exhibited excellent electrochemical performance. The specific capacity at the first lithiation was as high as 1133 mAh g −1 at a current density of 0.1 A g −1 , which is superior to those reported for the core-shell structured nanoparticles. The Coulombic Efficiency at the first cycle was 90.4% and kept stable at more than 99.0% after only 10 cycles. The capacity retention was nearly twice as that of the incompact mixture of Li-Si nanoparticles and carbon. The energy density of the full cell constructed by the present composite and sulfur was evaluated to be 3 times as high as that of the commercial lithium-ion batteries. This work provides a new universal strategy for developing Li-rich anode materials with high combination properties and low cost.
