| Popis: | Nickel-rich lithium metal oxide cathode materials have recently be en highlighted as next-generation cathodes for lithium-ion batteries. Nevertheless, their relatively high surface reactivity must be controlled, as fading of the cycling retention occurs rapidly in the cells. This paper proposes functionalized nickel-rich lithium metal oxide cathode materials by a multipurpose nanosized inorganic material-titanium silicon oxide-via a simple thermal treatment process. We examined the topologies of the nano-titanium silicate-functionalized nickel-rich lithium metal oxide cathodes with scanning electron microscopy and quantitatively analyzed their improved mechanical properties using microindentation. The cell containing nickel-rich lithium metal oxide cathodes suffered from poor cycling behavior as the electrolytes persistently decomposed; however, this behavior was effectively inhibited in the cell by nano-titanium silicate-functionalized nickel-rich lithium metal oxide cathodes. Further ex situ analyses indicated that the particle hardness of the nano-titanium silicate-functionalized nickel-rich lithium metal oxide cathode materials was maintained, and decomposition of the electrolyte by the dissolution of transition metals was thoroughly inhibited even after 100 cycles. Based on these results, we concluded that the use of nano-titanium silicate as a coating material for nickel-rich lithium metal oxide cathode materials is an effective way to enhance the cycling performance of lithium-ion batteries. |
