Layered Ni-rich compound LiNi_0.5Co_0.2Mn_0.3O₂ has drawn considerable attention recently because high Ni content contributes to the improvement of specific capacity and the reduction of cost. However, it is a challenge to obtain the Ni-rich LiNi_0.5Co_0.2Mn_0.3O₂ cathode with both high rate performance and high tap density because the rate capability is often improved at the expense of volumetric energy density, which is mostly dependent on the tap density. In our work, an uniform Ni-rich LiNi_0.5Co_0.2Mn_0.3O₂ microsphere with an average diameter of ca. 5 μm and tap density of 2.1 g·cm^-3 was successfully prepared using carbonate co-precipitation method, which can meet the commercial requirement for lithium-ion batteries (tap density≥2.1 g·cm^-3, Lithium Nickel Cobalt Manganese Oxides from CETC International Co., Ltd). In this synthetic route, the 2 mol·L^-1 mixture of NiSO₄·6H₂O, MnSO₄·H₂O and CoSO₄·7H₂O (Ni:Co:Mn=5:2:3, molar ratio) are the starting materials, 2 mol·L^-1 Na₂CO₃ and 4 mol·L^-1 NH₃·H₂O are the precipitant and chelating agent, respectively. In order to achieve high tap density, the stirring speed of continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR) is as high as 1500 r/min, and the powder was preheated at 550 ℃ for 6 h and then calcined at 850 ℃ for 14 h in flowing oxygen. Powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) results indicate that the microsphere LiNi_0.5Co_0.2Mn_0.3O₂ material has a well-ordered α-NaFeO₂ structure with stable in-plane [\begin{document}$ \sqrt 3 $\end{document}×\begin{document}$ \sqrt 3 $\end{document}]R30° ordering in the transition-metal layers. Electrochemical results also confirm that this cathode has excellent cycling stability and high rate capability. Specifically, it exhibits a discharge capacity of 150 mAh·g^-1 between 2.7 and 4.3 V at 1C after 100 cycles, with outstanding capacity retention of 94.6%. At 30C rate, it can still deliver a high discharge capacity of 96 mAh·g^-1. Meanwhile, the energy storage capacity for this cathode is also encouraging. At 0.1C rate, the specific energy (E_s) is 687.83 Wh·kg^-1 (volumetric energy density is 1444.45 Wh·L^-1); at 30C rate, the specific energy (E_s) is 335.27 Wh·kg^-1 (volumetric energy density is 704.07 Wh·L^-1). These excellent features will make this microsphere LiNi_0.5Co_0.2Mn_0.3O₂ material as a potential positive electrode material for commercial high energy density lithium-ion batteries.
