Abstract
The poor cycling performance of Li-rich manganese-based (LMR) cathodes is one of the challenges that need to be urgently overcome. Enhancing the stability of the layered structure responsible for lithium-ion diffusion is an effective way to improve the cycling performance. Layered structures are mainly formed during the high-temperature solid-phase reaction, whereas the prolonged and constant-high-temperature calcination conditions in conventional calcination procedure may pose a threat to the layered structural stability. Thus, in order to optimize the formation environment of layered structures under high-temperature solid-phase reaction, we have designed suitable temperature-controlled strategies for each stage of layered structure formation, gradual maturation, and post-treatment, respectively, referred to as the 3-stage calcination strategy. This calcination strategy contributes to the formation of a more ordered and stable layered structure, which significantly improves the cycling performance of LMR cathodes (capacity retention rate of 85.2 % after 200 cycles at 1C). The shortening of the constant high temperature calcination time helps to further reduce the production cost of the batteries. The design concept of this work is to regulate the formation process of layered structures in stages, which provides inspiration for the efficient and controllable synthesis of electrode materials with excellent structural stability at low production cost.
