Improved electrochemical performances of high voltage LiCoO_2 with tungsten doping

The effects of tungsten W doping and coating on the electrochemical performance of LiCoO_2 cathode are comparatively studied in this work. The amount of modification component is as low as 0.1 wt% and 0.3 wt% respectively. After 100 cycles between 3.0 V–4.6 V, 0.1 wt% W doping provides an optimized capacity retention of 72.3%. However, W coating deteriorates battery performance with capacity retention of 47.8%, even lower than bare LiCoO_2 of 55.7%. These different electrochemical performances can be attributed to the surface aggregation of W between doping and coating methods. W substitution is proved to be a promising method to develop high voltage cathodes. Practical performance relies on detailed synthesis method.
