Abstract:
Co-precipitation method was used to prepare LiNi
0.8Co
0.15Al
0.05O
2 anode materials with La
3+ added. The XPS, X-ray analyzer, scanning electron microscope, electrochemical workstation, and battery charge and discharge test system were used to discuss the effects of different addition of La
3+ on the structure, morphology and electrochemical performance of anode materials. Results show that, compared with the non-added LiNi
0.8Co
0.15Al
0.05O
2 cathode material, the material with La
3+ has a larger primary particle size, better sphericity, and the Rsfand Rct impedance of the martials shows a decrease. When the doping amount of La
3+ is
x=0.01, the material's high-current cycle stability is greatly improved. After 100 cycles under 1 C, the capacity retention of La
3+ is 75.81%, while that of the non-added materials is only 49.57%. Apart from that, the discharge specific capacity of the battery adding La
3+ material at 0.5 C, 1 C, or 5 C is also significantly higher than that of non-added materials
