Ni-rich layered materials Li[Ni x Co y Mn z Al 1−x−y−z ]O 2 (x > 0.8) are regarded as the competitive cathode for practical applications in lithiumion batteries owing to the large discharging capacity. Nevertheless, the strong oxidation activity, the poor structure, and the thermal stability at the electrode-electrolyte interface would lead to much trouble, for example, inferior electrochemical properties and acute safety issues. To ameliorate the above problems, this work reports a strategy for the double modification of F − doping and LiNbO 3 covering in LiNi 0.88 Co 0.06 Mn 0.03 Al 0.03 O 2 cathode via using high-temperature calcining and ball-milling technology. As a result, the cathodes after F − doping and LiNbO 3 covering not only demonstrate a more stabilized crystal structure and particle interface but also reduce the release of high-activity oxygen species to ameliorate the thermal runaway. The electrochemical tests show that the LiNbO 3 −F − -modified cathode displays a superior rate capability of 159.3 mAh g −1 at 10.0 C and has the predominant capability retention of 92.1% in the 200th cycle at 25 °C, much superior than those (125.4 mAh g −1 and 84.0%) of bare cathode. Thus, the F-doped and LiNbO 3 -coated Ni-rich oxides could be a promising cathode to realize the high capacity and a stabilized interface.
