Abstract

LiNi0.8Co0.1Mn0.1O2 (NCM811), a high nickel-positive electrode material, has higher discharge capacity, lower cost, and less environmental pollution than other systems, so it has attracted many people’s attention. However, its poor thermal stability, cycle rate performance, and safety problems limit its practical application. In this paper, the NCM811 cathode material with Al3+ and PO43− co-doping (NCM-PA) was prepared by co-precipitation method and high-temperature solid-state method to improve its properties. The results show that the co-doping can effectively inhibit the mixing of lithium and nickel, maintain the good lamellar structure of the cathode material, and improve the electrochemical performance of the cathode material. The capacity retention rate of NCM-PA is 14.1% higher than that of the raw material after 100 cycles at 1 C. In addition, due to the small degree of electrode polarization of the co-doping material, NCM-PA still has a discharge-specific capacity of 155.8 mAh/g when the current density is 5 C.
