Abstract:LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 (LNMO)
has the
advantages of high voltage output (4.7 V), fast charging capability,
and better thermal stability, which make it suitable for future applications
in lithium-ion batteries. However, the limitation in cycle life due
to the electrolyte and the structural instability during high-voltage
cycling to 5 V is a major drawback. Further, the decomposition of
the electrolyte on the highly reactive surface of LNMO plays a critical
role in catalyzing the structural disintegration. The issue can… Show more
“…Recently, we proposed a post-synthetic modification to integrate 5 wt% petroleum-pitch-derived soft carbon with LNMO slurry by substituting the same weight percentage of carbon black. 160 The graphene-like sheets of the soft carbon encapsulated (not a conventional coating) the truncated octahedron-shaped LNMO particles and the surface thus became less susceptible to electrolyte decomposition (Fig. 6c and d).…”
