Abstract

High nickel LiNi0.8Co0.15Al0.05O2 (NCA) is one of the most promising cathode materials for next-generation lithium-ion batteries, but its poor structural stability hinders its further development. Here, WO3 coating-modified NCA was successfully prepared by one-step solid phase method, which effectively prevented corrosion of electrolyte. In different dosage ratios, 2.0mol%WO3-NCA sample shows the highest first discharge capacity of 180.4 mAh g−1 at 2 C, and the retention rate was 94.1% after 100 cycles, and more impressively, it exhibits a capacity of 161.1 mAh g−1 even at 5 C, whereas pure NCA only delivers 179.5 mAh g−1 and the retention of 77.1% at 2 C and 147.6 mAh g−1 at 5 C. These results indicate that the WO3 coating plays a role in inhibiting side reactions between NCA and the electrolyte, which improves cycle life of NCA material.
