Abstract
A lithium-rich cathode material for lithium-ion batteries, Li1.2Ni0.133Mn0.534Co0.133O2, was synthesized by three methods. Cathode materials based on this compound in which cobalt was partially replaced by cadmium were obtained. The effects of preparation method and cadmium introduction method on the electrochemical characteristics of the materials were investigated. The oxides were obtained by co-precipitation in which cadmium was added either in the precursor preparation stage or in the stage of solid-state reaction of the precursor with the lithium source, or in the solvothermal synthesis. The presence of cadmium in the materials was proved by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry, powder X-ray diffraction, and electron probe microanalysis. The most part of cadmium in the modified materials existed as an oxide coating on the surface of the active material particles. The electrochemical testing of the materials in half-cells with a lithium anode showed that the sample with a more uniform coating obtained by adding cadmium during the precursor synthesis had better electrochemical characteristics than the pristine material (95% versus 84% reversibility by the 100th cycle).
