Graphene modified Li-rich cathode material Li[Li_(0.26)Ni_(0.07)Co_(0.07)Mn_(0.56)]O_2 for lithium ion battery

摘要

Lithium and Mn rich solid solution materials Li[Li_(0.26)Ni_(0.07)Co_(0.07)Mn_(0.56)]O_2 were synthesized by a carbonate co-precipitation method and modified with a layer of graphene. The graphene-modified cathodes exhibit improved rate capability and cycling performance as compared to the bare cathodes. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) analyses reveal that the improved electrochemical performances are due to acceleration kinetics of lithium-ion diffusion and the charge transfer reaction of the graphene-modified cathodes.
