Abstract
Due to uneven mixing, LiNi0.6Co0.2Mn0.2O2 (NCM622) electrode material prepared by high temperature solid phase method usually had high cationic mixing degree, which could greatly affect the NCM622 electrode material electrochemical performance. In order to solve this problem, a series of NCM622 electrode materials with different electrochemical performance were prepared by using different nickel sources under the same high temperature solid phase conditions. X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy were used to characterize the electrode materials’ morphology and structure. The electrochemical performance of the obtained NCM622 electrode materials, including capacity performance, rate performance, cycle performance, cyclic voltammetry, and AC impedance, was also characterized. The results showed that when the nanoscale NiO obtained with the aid of organic matter was used as the nickel source, high-performance NCM622 cathode material could be prepared without element doping and material coating under the solid phase conditions (900.0 °C for 10 h). At a voltage of 2.8–4.3 V, the discharge specific capacity at 0.1 C could reach a maximum of 197.5 mAh·g−1. And at 0.5 C, after 100 cycles (half-cell condition), the NCM622 material had a discharge capacity retention rate of 95.0%.
