Abstract

An amount (5 wt %) of lithium tungstate (Li<sub>2</sub>WO<sub>4</sub>) as an additive significantly improves the cycle and rate performances of the LiNi<sub>0.6</sub>Co<sub>0.2</sub>Mn<sub>0.2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> electrode at the cutoff voltage of 4.6 V. The 5 wt % Li<sub>2</sub>WO<sub>4</sub>-mixed LiNi<sub>0.6</sub>Co<sub>0.2</sub>Mn<sub>0.2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> electrode delivers a reversible capacity of 199.2 mA h g<sup>-1</sup> and keeps 73.1% capacity for 200 cycles at 1 C. It retains 67.4% capacity after 200 cycles at 2 C and delivers a discharge capacity of 167.3 mA h g<sup>-1</sup> at 10 C, while those of the pristine electrode are only 44.7% and 87.5 mA h g<sup>-1</sup>, respectively. It is shown that the structure of the LiNi<sub>0.6</sub>Co<sub>0.2</sub>Mn<sub>0.2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> cathode material is not affected by mixing Li<sub>2</sub>WO<sub>4</sub>. The introduced Li<sub>2</sub>WO<sub>4</sub> effectively restrains the LiPF<sub>6</sub> and carbonate solvent decomposition by consuming PF<sub>5</sub> at high cutoff voltage, forming a stable cathode/electrolyte interface film with low resistance.
