Abstract

Abstract: The cobalt-free Mn-based Li-rich layered oxide material has the advantages of low cost, high energy density, and good performance at low temperatures, and is the promising choice for energy storage batteries. However, the long-cycling stability of batteries needs to be improved. Herein, the Mn-based Li-rich cathode materials with small amounts of Li₂MnO₃ crystal domains and gradient doping of Al and Ti elements from the surface to the bulk have been developed to improve the structure and interface stability. Then the batteries with a high energy density of 600 Wh kg^-1, excellent capacity retention of 99.7 % with low voltage decay of 0.03 mV cycle^-1 after 800 cycles, and good rates performances can be achieved. Therefore, the structure and cycling stability of low voltage Mn-based Li-rich cathode materials can be significantly improved by the bulk structure design and interface regulation, and this work has paved the way for developing low-cost and high-energy Mn-based energy storage batteries with long lifetime.

Key words: Mn-based Li-rich layered oxide cathode, Li₂MnO₃ crystal domain, Elemental gradient, Lithium-ion batteries, Energy storage
