摘要
采用固相焙烧法制备正极材料钴酸锂LiCoO_2,并采用异丙醇铝(AIP)对其进行表面包覆,通过XRD、SEM、EDS mapping和电池充放电测试研究了AIP包覆量对材料结构和电化学性能的影响.电化学性能测试表明,AIP包覆可有效改善材料的循环性能,提高材料的放电比容量、库仑效率和倍率性能.相比于未包覆的LiCoO_2样品,包覆量为0.1%的LiCoO_2样品,具有最优异的电化学性能,在0.2C下的首次放电比容量提升至176.8 mAh/g,库仑效率高达97.2%;在1.0C下经50次循环后容量保持率为96.2%.
The LiCoO_2 cathode material was prepared by a solid calcination method, and the material was then coated by aluminium isopropoxide(AIP). Influence of the amount of AIP on the structure and electrochemical properties of cathode material was investigated by X-ray diffraction(XRD), scanning electron microscope(SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy mapping(EDS mapping) and electrochemical performance tests. EDS mapping characterization proved that the LiCoO_2 particles were homogeneously coated by a thin coating layer. The cycle performance, rate performance, discharge capacity and coulombic efficiency of the AIP coated sample were improved significantly, and the 0.1% AIP coated material showed the best electrochemical performance. Compared to uncoated material, the initial discharge capacity of the 0.1% AIP coated material was improved to 176.8 mAh/g at 0.2 C, and the coulombic efficiency was up to 97.2%,the specific capacity retention was 96.2% after 50 cycles at 1.0 C.
