A high‐voltage graphite/LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 (LNMO) system is a promising candidate for next‐generation Li‐ion batteries with a high energy density. However, it has the drawback of severe capacity fading caused by the consumption of active Li+ ions due to the reduction of the products of electrolyte oxidation and LNMO dissolution from the LNMO cathode on the graphite anode. Herein, graphite coated with different amounts of AlPO4 (0.5, 1, and 2.5 wt%) is prepared by an electrostatic attraction combined with a precipitation conversion method, and used as an anode for the LNMO/graphite full cell. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and elemental mapping images show that AlPO4 disperses homogeneously on the surface of graphite, and its thickness is between 10 and 30 nm. Electrochemical measurement results show that LNMO/AlPO4@graphite cells show better cycling stability and higher coulombic efficiency than the LNMO/graphite cell. Among them, the LNMO/0.5 wt% AlPO4@graphite cell shows the best cycling stability. By combining all the analytical results, the improvement mechanism of LNMO/AlPO4@graphite cells is mainly that the side reactions that consume the active Li+ ions are greatly reduced because the AlPO4 coating can block the migration of the products of electrolyte oxidation and LNMO dissolution to the graphite.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
