摘要
首次利用原位X射线衍射光谱法(XRD)分析了富锂锰基材料在H2气氛下,温度从25℃逐步升至400℃的过程中结构发生的变化,结果表明:富锂锰基材料最终被还原为MnO和单质Co、Ni,过程中并未出现正交相的LiMnO_2,这与三方相(空间群R-3m)的LiMn_(1/3)Ni_(1/3)Co_(1/3)O_2还原过程一致,但明显不同于单斜相(空间群C2/m)的Li2MnO_3被还原为LiMnO_2和Mn O的情况,验证了富锂锰基材料的结构为单一的三方相,而非单斜相和三方相的复合相。电化学测试表明:均相结构的三方相富锂锰基材料放电比容量在250 m Ah/g左右,充放电循环100次后容量保持率在80%以上。准确地表征富锂锰基材料的三方相结构将有助于改进制备工艺,获得循环性能更好的材料。
Changes of the crystalline structures of lithium-rich and manganese-based cathode materials were examined by in-situ X-ray diffraction in H_2 from 25 to 400 ℃. The results show that x Li2 Mn O3·(1-x)Li Mn_(1/3_Ni_(1/3_Co_(1/3)O_2 is reduced to Mn O and Co/Ni without orthorhombic LiMnO_2, which is the same as trigonal(space group: R-3 m)Li Mn_(1/3_Ni_(1/3)Co_(1/3)O_2. The monoclinic(space group: C2/m) Li2 Mn O3 is reduced to orthorhombic LiMnO_2 and Mn O at the same condition. It is deduced that lithium-rich and manganese-based layered material possess trigonal structure(R-3 m space group), instead of trigonal and monoclinic compound phase. The electrochemical test results show that the average discharge capacity of the homogeneous trigonal R-3 m lithium-rich and manganese-base cathode material can reach 250 m Ah/g, and the capacity remains 80% after 100 cycles. The accurate determination of lithium-rich and manganese-based cathode materials with trigonal R-3 m structure is essential for improving the preparation process and obtaining materials with better cycle performance.
