Abstract AITranslate

It is well-known that lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are recognized as one of the most appropriate and promising energy-storage systems,they are also being pursued intensively for transporting applications,including hybrid vehicles (HEVs) and pure electric vehicles (EVs). However,existing commercial LIBs are the current limitation for the rapid development of both EVs and HEVs due to their limited energy densities and high price cost. Great efforts have been made to develop cathode materials with high voltage,high capacity,low cost,and excellent cycle performance. In this regard,lithium manganate (LiMn2O4) with spinel structure has been considered as one of the most promising cathode materials for the next generation high energy density LIBs owing to its high potential (4.1 V),relatively high theoretical capacity (148 mAh·g−1),and abundance of the raw materials. At present,the large-scale commercialization applications of LiMn2O4 are plagued by its serious capacity degradation and structural instability during Li+ intercalation/de-intercalation process,particularly at higher C rates. Element doping is a widely acceptable modification approach to improve the structural stability of the bulk LiMn2O4. Bulk phase doping consists of lithium site,manganese site and oxygen site accor ding to the lattice position occupied by the doped element. Among them,the mainstream of doping studies is manganese site doping,which mainly includes Ni2+,Fe2+,Zn2+,Mg2+,Al3+,Co3+,Ti4+,etc. The results show that partial substitution of Mn3+ can effectively inhibit the structural deformation caused by Jahn-Teller effect,enhance the structural stability of the material,and then improve the cycle performance. Lithium site doping is the partial substitution of the doped element for the Li position in the LiMn2O4 structure. Na+ is usually used to replace part of Li+. Because the electrochemical activity of Na+ is worse than that of Li+,Na+ can remain in the three-dimensional channel of Li+ diffusion during the charging and discharging process,and play a role in supporting Li+ diffusion channel. Oxygen site doping is the substitution of doping elements such as S,Cl,F,etc. After F replaces O,the bond energy can be enhanced,thereby improving the stability of the crystal structure,and the lattice constant can be increased after Cl and S replace O,facilitating the diffusion of lithium ions. There have been reviews focusing on single element doping for LiMn2O4,while the development in the recent years still needs to be summarized,especially the research of double element doping. In this review,the research progress of two-element doped spinel lithium manganate materials in recent years was reviewed,and the future development trend of spinel lithium manganate material was also analyzed.
