The Mechanism Of The Improvement On Cycling Performance And Thermal Stability Of Lini0.8Co0.2O2 By Ti-Doping, Han-San Liu, Jie Li, Zheng-Liang Gong, Zhong-Ru Zhang, Yong Yang

Journal of Electrochemistry

Improved cycling performance and enhanced thermal stability were observed for Ti-doped LiNi0.8Co0.2O2 cathode materials. The mechanism of these positive effects was investigated in this work. The improved cycling performance of Ti-doped cathodes is ascribed to the suppression of phase transitions and lattice changes during cycling, and the decrease of interfacial reaction activity between the cathode and electrolyte. The enhanced thermal stability of Ti-doped cathodes is attributed to the suppression of thermal decomposition reaction of delithiated cathode material, which will produce heat and oxygen gas as the cause of electrolyte decomposition and combustion reaction.

Through the measurements done by anodic polarization, EIS and galvanostatic discharge, it was found that Al is electrochemical active in a wide potential range in this system, and its discharge mechanism is similar to that of Al in aqueous solution. The discharge potential increased rapidly after a period of time, which might be caused by the discharge products depositing on the electrode surface.
