The solid-electrolyte interphase (SEI) plays an important role in stabilizing lithium metal anode for high-energy storage batteries. However, the SEI between lithium metal anode and liquid electrolyte is usually unstable...
As the demand for high‐energy‐density batteries becomes more and more urgent, cathode materials of high‐energy lithium‐ion batteries have received widespread attention. LiNixCoyMn1‐x‐yO2 (NCM) ternary materials with high nickel and low cobalt content as well as a high cut‐off voltage are continually pursued. Here, a nickel‐rich cobalt‐free cathode material, LiNi0.9Mn0.1O2, was synthesized by using a co‐precipitation method to achieve a stable structure and excellent electrochemical performance. It shows a discharge specific capacity of 190 mAhg−1 in the first cycle at a rate of 0.2 C, and a capacity retention of 93 % over 150 cycles at 2.7–4.3 V. It also exhibits excellent electrochemical performance under high cut‐off voltage. The initial discharge specific capacity reaches 197.5 mAhg−1 at 0.2 C within 2.7 to 4.5 V, and the capacity retains 188.9 mAhg−1 after 100 cycles. The work provides an alternative cathode material for high‐energy‐density and cost‐effective lithium‐ion batteries.
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.
