Improvement of Cycling Stability of LiMn2O4Cathode by Al2O3Surface Coating for Li-Ion Batteries

Year: 2013

Type: article

Abstract: The eect of the Al2O3 coating on the chargedischarge cycling performance of spinel powder (LiMn2O4) was investigated in the range of 3.54.5 V at 1C.The Al2O3 coating on the surface of the spinel powder was carried out using the solution method, followed by 500 • C for 6 h in air.Powder X-ray diraction pattern of the Al2O3-coated spinel LiMn2O4 showed that the Al2O3 coating medium was not incorporated in the spinel bulk structure.Scanning electron microscopy results showed that the Al2O3 coating particles were homogeneously distributed on the surface of LiMn2O4 powder particles.The Al2O3-coated LiMn2O4 retained 92.3% of its original capacity after 30 cycles, showing much better cycle ability than the bare lithium manganese oxide.The improvement of electrochemical performance is attributed to suppression of Mn 2+ dissolution into electrolyte via Al2O3 layer.
