Abstract

(Ni0.8Mn0.1Co0.1)(OH)2 and Co(OH)2 secondly treated by LiNi0.8Mn0.1Co0.1O2 have been prepared via co-precipitation and high-temperature solid-state reaction. The residual lithium contents, XRD Rietveld refinement, XPS, TG-DSC, and electrochemical measurements are carried out. After secondly treating process, residual lithium contents decrease drastically, and occupancy of Ni in 3a site is much lower and Li/Ni disorder decreases. The discharge capacity is 193.1, 189.7, and 182 mAh g−1 at 0.1 C rate, respectively, for LiNi0.8Mn0.1Co0.1O2-AP, -NT, and -CT electrodes between 3.0 and 4.2 V in pouch cell. The capacity retention has been greatly improved during gradual capacity fading of cycling at 1 C rate. The noticeably improved thermal stability of the samples after being treated can also be observed.
