Abstract:
Overlithiated oxide cathode materials show high capacity but poor cycle stability and voltage attenuation. In this work, a concentration difference driven molten salt ion exchange strategy is used to replace a small quantity of lithium ions by sodium ions. With the entry of sodium ions, the interplanar spacing is increased and the structure is stabilized. The electrochemical properties of materials have been improved obviously. The powder X-ray diffraction, inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy are used to detect the entry of sodium ions and structural changes. The modified materials display high discharge specific capacity, excellent cycling performance, and reduced voltage attenuation.
