    Abstract

    Ultra-high nickel material as a new lithium-ion battery cathode has attracted much attention due to its high specific capacity, high voltage and low cost. However, the generated microcracks, mechanical pulverization and irreversible phase transformation during cycling, result in poor cycling stability. Herein, a series of Ca3(PO4)2- coated ultra-high nickel LiNi0.91Co0.06Al0.03O2 materials with different thicknesses (NCA@nCP) were prepared through a facile wet-chemistry strategy. Among them, NCA@1CP manifested specific discharge capacity of 204.8 mAh/g under 2.7-4.3 V at 1C (1C=200 mA/g), with a capacity retention rate of 91.5% after 100 cycles. Even after 300 cycles at 2C, the specific discharge capacity retained 153.4 mAh/g. Material characterization results further confirm that the coating shell inhibits the Li/Ni mixing, irreversible phase transformation and mechanical pulverization of the NCA@1CP, greatly improving the cycling stability. This work shows that the Ca3(PO4)2 coating strategy has great application potential in improving the lithium storage stability of ultra-high nickel cathode materials.
