Popis: The nano SnO 2 -modified LiNi 1/3 Co 1/3 Mn 1/3 O 2 was successfully prepared by a carrier transfer method. The pristine and modified samples were characterized with various techniques such as XRD, SEM, XPS and EDS. The results showed that the SnO 2 particles did not enter the crystal structure of LiNi 1/3 Co 1/3 Mn 1/3 O 2 , many nano SnO 2 particles were uniformly covered on the surface of LiNi 1/3 Co 1/3 Mn 1/3 O 2 and the modified thin layer could inhibit the dissolution of transition metal oxides. The electrochemical tests indicated that the existence of nano SnO 2 could improve the discharge capacity and rate capability owing to the decreased interfacial polarization. The cycling stability was remarkably improved at room temperature and 55 °C. The XRD patterns of the fresh NCM electrode and after 50 cycles proved that the structural change of NCM was not so effective on the capacity fade.
