摘要

High-nickel ternary cathodes are widely employed in lithium-ion batteries due to their better performance. Nevertheless, with the growing in nickel content, the material suffers from structural instability and poor cycling performance. In this study, Nb5+ doping was carried out on LiNi0.90Co0.04Al0.06O2 (NCA) cathode material by high temperature solid state method. The results of FTIR and XPS characterization show that Nb5+ doping can reduce the carbonate content on the surface of the material. SEM and TEM results show that Nb5+ doping can refine the primary particles and expand the lattice spacing of the material. In-situ XRD results show that the reversibility of the H2 → H3 phase transition of 1.0%Nb-NCA is well. Electrochemical results showed that the material of 1.0%Nb-NCA has a first discharge specific capacity of 188.12 mAh/g at 0.5 C and 2.5–4.3 V, which is 21.86 mAh/g higher than that of the original sample, and the capacity retention rate is 91.60% after 100 cycles.
