Modulating Surface Architecture and Electronic Conductivity of Li‐rich Manganese‐Based Cathode

Li-rich manganese-based cathode (LRMC) has attracted intense attention to developing advanced lithium-ion batteries with high energy density. However, LRMC is still plagued by poor cyclic stability, undesired rate capacity, and irreversible oxygen release. To address these issues, herein, a feasible polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF)-assisted interface modification strategy is proposed for modulating the surface architecture and electronic conductivity of LRMC by intruding the F-doped carbon coating, spinel structure, and oxygen vacancy on the LRMC, which can greatly enhance the cyclic stability and rate capacity, and restrain the oxygen release for LRMC. As a result, the modified material delivers satisfactory cyclic performance with a capacity retention of 90.22% after 200 cycles at 1 C, an enhanced rate capacity of 153.58 mAh g
