Abstract: Ni-rich layered cathodes LiNi0.8Co0.1Mn0.1O2 receive much research interest for Li-ion batteries due to the environmental friendless and high energy density. However, spherical LiNi0.8Co0.1Mn0.1O2 materials often suffer capacity fading ascribed to microcracks generated from volume variation upon cycling, which hindered their commercial applications. To overcome this inherent instability, the single crystal LiNi0.8Co0.1-Mn0.1O2 (SC-NCM811) has been synthesized via assisted molten salt method with excess amounts of Li2CO3, and its morphology, structure and electrochemical behavior have been systematically investigated. The SEM observation confirms that it composes of dispersed near-brick particles with an average size of about 2—3 μm. Compared to spherical LiNi0.8Co0.1Mn0.1O2, the SC-NCM811 materials shows improved capacity retention from 89.7% to 95.9% with an exceptionally high capacity of 111.3 mAh·g-1 at 10C. The EIS and CV results demonstrate that the enhanced electrochemical properties are attributed to decrease in polarization and suppression of impedance increment during cycling due to the unique morpho-logy structure of SC-NCM. The results of this work indicate that SC-NCM is a promising cathode material for Li-ion batteries.
