Abstract:

In order to improve the performance of LiNiO2,Nb-doped LiNiO2 was prepared by a solid-state reaction method.The effects of the amount of Nb-doping on the structure and performance of LiNiO2 were investigated by X-ray diffraction analysis(XRD),galvanostatic titration(GITT),electrochemical impedance spectroscopy(EIS) and other methods.Nb-doping could effectively improve the order degree of the layered structure,reduce Li+/Ni2+ mixing,reduce the charge transfer impedance,and increase the diffusion coefficient of Li+ in the active materials.Therefore,LiNi0.99Nb0.01O2 exhibited higher capacity retention(91.4% after 100 cycles at 0.5C) and better rate capability(143 mA·h/g at 5C).As a comparison,the data of bare LiNiO2 was 69.2% and 127 mA·h/g under the same conditions.These results further demonstrated that Nb-doping with a strong Nb—O bond,high valence stat,and larger ionic radius could effectively improve the performance of LiNiO2.
