To solve the bottleneck problem of lattice oxygen precipitation during the cycling process of lithium-rich manganese-based anode materials and the poor cycling performance due to the lithium-rich phase of the poor conductor of electrons, the ultra-wideband semiconductor material Ga₂O₃ for its in-situ coating modification was adopted. The purpose of the surface modification is to improve its electronic conductivity to increase the multiplicity of performance, and at the same time, the C2/m space group of the Ga₂O₃ coating layer can both improve the Li⁺ migration rate and inhibit the Li⁺ migration rate. It can also inhibit the lattice oxygen precipitation of Li-rich manganese-based materials. A pristine sample of Li-rich manganese-based cathode materials Li_1.2Mn_0.54Ni_0.13Co_0.13O₂ (P-LRMO) was prepared by co-precipitation method, and in-situ coated with different contents of Ga₂O₃ by simple wet-chemical method as well as low-temperature calcination method. The results of transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) showed that the Ga₂O₃ coating layer was successfully synthesized on the surface of the pristine sample. The results of electrochemical tests showed that the modified material G3-LRMO with mass fraction of 3% Ga₂O₃ had the best electrochemical performance, which could reach 270.1 mAh·g^-1 in the first cycle of the charge-discharge at 0.1C (25 mA·g^-1), and still maintained 127.4 mAh·g^-1 at 5C, which was better than 90.7 mAh·g^-1 of the unmodified material. G3-LRMO still had a capacity of 190.7 mAh·g^-1 after 200 cycles at 1C, and the capacity retention rate increased from 72.9% to 85.6%, which proves that the modification of Ga₂O₃ coating can improve the cycling stability of lithium-rich manganese-based materials. Moreover, the charge transfer impedance (R_ct) of the G3-LRMO material was 107.7 Ω after 100 cycles at 1C, which is much lower than that of the unmodified material (251.5 Ω), indicating that the Ga₂O₃ coating layer can improve the electron transfer rate of the material.
