- Abstract
- LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 (LNMO) with a spinel crystalline structure exhibits excellent properties such as a high voltage of similar to 4.7 V and a fairly high theoretical capacity of similar to 147 mAh g(-1) as well as low cost. However, LNMO cathode materials exhibit a deteriorated high-rate performance and capacity fading because of their low structural stability caused by dissolution of Mn ions into the electrolyte via the Jahn-Teller effect during the Li+ ion insertion/desertion process. Herein, to obtain electrochemical/structural stabilities and to prevent dissolution of Mn ions from pristine LNMO, we designed M-t-doped LNMO cathode materials (LiNi0.4Mn1.5 MtO4) with different transition metal elements (M-t = Co and Fe) having a chemical valence electron of M-t(3+) using a hydrothermal method. All samples exhibited that the M-t-doped LNMO structures were homogeneously doped with Co and Fe elements. Furthermore, compared with the undoped LNMO materials, the M-t-doped LNMO cathode materials showed superior electrochemical properties in terms of high discharge capacities (121.1 mAh g(-1)) at 120 mA g(-1) and good cycle retentions (over 99.7%) after 200 cycles as well as improved high-rate performance, because of the well-engineered valance and disordered structure for the doping of M-t(3+), preventing the dissolution of Mn ions via the Jahn-Teller distortion.
