Abstract

In this paper, the dual-modified LiNi0.8Co0.1Mn0.1O2 via Gd2O3 is successfully obtained by the solid-state method. The phenomenon of Li/Ni cation mixing and structural stability of materials has been improved after Gd2O3 modification. Additionally, the lower average discharge voltage drop (ΔEd) and electrochemical polarization of the batteries are obtained after modification. Simultaneously, the dual-modified material via Gd2O3 exhibits the high capacity retention of 94.50% compared with that (83.40%) of the Pristine (3.0–4.4 V, 1 C (180 mA g−1), 25 °C, after 100 cycles). The excellent electrochemical properties ascribe to the higher bond dissociation energies of Gd-O (716 kJ mol−1) and the stable coating layer of Gd2O3.
