摘要

With the aim of suppressing the harmful phase transition of LiCoO2 (LCO) at high voltage of 4.6 V, a simple two-step solid-phase calcination method was applied to prepare F-doped LCO materials. LCO materials with different F doping concentrations were synthesized by Co3O4 and Li2CO3 as starting reagents in the addition of NH4F. F doping allows F to partially replace the lattice oxygen sites in the LCO and stabilize the structure of the LCO material. Compared with bare LCO, the F-doped LCO exhibits better electrochemical performance. Among the electrodes, the LCO-F-2% configuration achieves the best electrochemical performance. The initial discharge specific capacity of LCO-F-2% is 210.77 mAh g−1 in the voltage range of 3.0−4.6 V at 0.5 C, with capacity retention of 60% for 200 cycles. In addition, the rate performance of the LCO-F-2% electrode is significantly improved. This work provides a useful strategy for the development and utilization of long-life high-voltage LCO materials.
