Abstract:
In this work, novel graphitic sheets with ripple-like folds (GSRFs) are synthesized from cheap resin via a facile route. The obtained GSRFs are used as a cladding layer for LiNi0.8Co0.15Al0.05O2(NCA) particles to construct a GSRF@NCA composite cathode. Electrochemical testing for GSFR@NCA exhibits better cycling and C-rate performance than those of original NCA. Moreover, the capacity retention (85%) of the full-cell (GSFR@NCA versus graphite) is much higher than that (79%) of the full-cell (NCA versus graphite) after 400 cycles. Most importantly, this approach allows the preparation of GSFR@NCA with highly promising applications as a cathode for high-energy-density lithium-ion batteries, since in this contribution just simple equipment and a precursor with low cost are involved.
