Ti concentration dependence on the microstructure of Ti-doped Al2O3 coatings and electrochemical properties of Ti-doped Al2O3 coated LiCoO2 thin films

초록/요약

The lithium-ion rechargeable batteries have been widely used in portable electronic devices such as laptop computers, mobile phones, and camcorders. LiCoO2 was one of the most useful cathode materials for lithium-ion batteries due to its good performance. We studied Ti-doped Al2O3 (Ti-Al2O3) coated LiCoO2 thin films with the composition dependence of the microstructure and electrochemical properties of Ti-Al2O3 coating films. The 1.27at.% Ti-Al2O3 were of amorphous structure with better conductivity than pure Al2O3 films by Ti doped. The Ti-Al2O3 coated LiCoO2 films have different electrochemical properties, depending on the Ti concentration. The first discharge capacity 1.27at.% Ti-Al2O3 coated LiCoO2 films was 84.67 μAh/cm2-μm, with a decrease to 78.70 μAh/cm2-μm after 50 cycles. The decrease in discharge capacity of Ti-Al2O3 coated LiCoO2 was investigated by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), which showed the suppression of impedance growth. The Ti-Al2O3 coating layer effectively suppressed Co dissolution and the formation of solid electrolyte interface (SEI) films, the latter which contributes to the decrease of Li-conductivity at the interface of LiCoO2 and an electrolyte. At a high voltage (4.5V) of LiCoO2 films, Ti-Al2O3 coating improved the cycling performance and increased the capacity retention to 92.95%. Therefore, Ti-Al2O3 coated LiCoO2 films also showed good cycling behaviors. The Ti-Al2O3 coated LiCoO2 films showed better electrochemical properties than pure Al2O3 coated LiCoO2 films. These results were closely related to the enhanced Li-conductivity and interfacial quality of the Ti-Al2O3 film.
