ABSTRACT
A facile Mn surface doping process is proposed to improve the thermal and structural stabilities of Ni-rich layered cathode materials (Ni ≥ 80%) for lithium-ion batteries in electric vehicles. Herein, we demonstrate that the surface structure of the Ni-rich layered cathode materials can be stabilized by the introduction of a thin Mn-rich surface layer. This layer effectively reduces the direct exposure of the highly reactive Ni on the surface of the cathode materials, thus enhancing thermal stability and mitigating side reactions associated with highly reactive Ni that causes the loss of reversible capacity. In practice, the Mn surface-doped Ni-rich layered cathode material exhibits a high specific capacity with an improved cycling stability even at a high temperature (60 °C). We believe that our simple approach offers more opportunities to upscale production without any extra caution.
