摘要: 采用无焰燃烧法在500℃反应3 h,然后分别在600、650、700和750℃二次焙烧6 h制备了尖晶石型Li1.02Ni0.05Mn1.93O4正极材料。结果表明,不同焙烧温度制备的Li-Ni共掺材料没有改变LiMn2O4的立方尖晶石结构,且随着焙烧温度的升高,颗粒尺寸变大,结晶性提高。二次焙烧温度为700℃的Li1.02Ni0.05Mn1.93O4单晶多面体晶粒正极材料具有{111}、{110}和{100}面,且电化学性能较优,在1 C倍率下初始放电比容量为108.2 mA·h·g−1,循环500次后的容量保持率为76.8%;在5 C下首次放电比容量可达到99.0 mA·h·g−1,1000次循环后,仍能维持72.1%的容量保持率;在10 C下仍显示出71.3 mA·h·g−1的首次放电比容量及经500次循环后86.4%的容量保持率。并且其具有较大的Li+扩散系数和较小的表观活化能。Li-Ni共掺LiMn2O4单晶多面体材料能够有效抑制Jahn-Teller效应,减小Mn的溶解及增加Li+扩散通道,使材料的晶体结构稳定,提高倍率性能和循环性能。Abstract: Spinel Li1.02Ni0.05Mn1.93O4 cathode material was synthesized via a flameless combustion method at 500℃ for 3 h followed by calcination at 600、650、700 and 750℃ for 6 h, respectively. The results show that Li-Ni co-doping material at different calcination temperatures does not change the cubic spinel structure of LiMn2O4. With the increase of calcination temperature, the particle size increases and the crystallinity is enhanced. At the secondary calcination temperature of 700℃, the cathode material of Li1.02Ni0.05Mn1.93O4 single crystal polyhedron possess {111}, {110} and {100} surfaces. It exhibits an excellent electrochemical performance. The Li1.02Ni0.05Mn1.93O4 cathode material shows the first-discharge specific capacity of 108.2 mA·h·g−1 and maintains the capacity retention of 76.8% after 500 cycles at 1 C. Moreover, it displays an initial discharge capacity of 99.0 and 71.3 mA·h·g−1, while provides a capacity retention rate of 72.1 and 86.4% after 1000 cycles at 5 C and 500 cycles at 10 C, respectively. The optimized electrode has a large Li+ diffusion coefficient and low apparent activation energy. The Li-Ni co-doping material of LiMn2O4 single crystal polyhedron can inhibit the Jahn-Teller effect effectively and alleviate Mn dissolution as well as increase Li+ ions expressing channels. Hence, the crystal structure of material is stabilized, the rate and cycle performance are enhanced.
