Nickel-rich LiNiCoMnO (LNCM811) is a promising lithium-ion battery cathode material, whereas the surface-sensitive issues (i.e., side reaction and oxygen loss) occurring on LNCM811 particles significantly degrade their electrochemical capacity retentions. A uniform LiZrO coating layer can effectively mitigate the problem by preventing these issues. Instead of the normally used weak hydrogen-bonding interaction, we present a covalent interfacial engineering for the uniform LiZrO coating on LiNiCoMnO materials. Results indicate that the strong covalent interactions between citric acid and NiCoMn(OH) precursor effectively promote the adsorption of ZrO coating species on NiCoMn(OH) precursor, which is eventually converted to uniform LiZrO coating layers of about 7 nm after thermal annealing. The uniform LiZrO coating endows LNCM811 cathode materials with an exceptionally high capacity retention of 98.7% after 300 cycles at 1 C. This work shows the great potential of covalent interfacial engineering for improving the electrochemical cycling capability of Ni-rich lithium-ion battery cathode materials.

LiNixCoyAlzO2 (NCA) is one of the most promising candidates of cathode material for lithium ion batteries because of its high capacity, energy density, and low cost. However, Ni-rich NCA cathode materials suffer from side reaction (formation of lithium carbonate and hydrogen fluoride attack) between electrolyte and surface of electrode and irreversible phase transition leading to capacity fading and thermal instability. These problems could be improved by coating and doping of transition metal elements. Si doping contributes to stabilization of the unstable R-3m structure, and Ti coating is capable of prohibiting the direct physical contact of electrode with electrolyte. In this work, LiNi0.8Co0.15Al0.05O2 (NCA) cathode materials coated or/and doped by Ti and Si elements were fabricated by co-precipitation method using the ball-milling. The crystal structure, morphology and electrochemical properties are investigated using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), transmission electron microscopy (FE-TEM), and WBCS3000 (WonA tech Co., Ltd.). The EIS and charge/discharge results of Si doped and Ti coated NCA exhibited the lowest resistance value (147.19 Ω) and capacity retentions of 88% after 100 cycles at 0.5 C.

Among the various cathode materials used in LIBs (Lithium ion batteries), nickel rich cathode materials have attracted an increasing amount of interest due to their high capacity, relatively low cost, and low toxicity when compared to LiCoO2. However, these materials always contain a large amount of residual lithium compounds such as LiOH and Li2CO3. The presence of lithium residues is undesirable because the oxidation of these compounds results in the formation of Li2O and CO2 gas at higher voltages, which lowers the coulombic efficiency between the charge and discharge capacities during cycling. In this study, using LiNi0.8Co0.1Mn0.1O2 as a starting material, a surface-modified cathode material was obtained by using reducing agent. The reducing agent not only plays the role of reducing the oxide conversion energy but also suppresses the side reaction with the electrolyte due to the surface modification. Residual lithium present on the cathode material surface was reduced from 11,702 ppm to 8,658 ppm, resulting in improved high temperature cycle performance and impedance characteristics.
