Cobalt-free,nickel-rich LiNi1-xAlxO2(x ≤ 0.1)is an attractive cathode material because of high energy den-sity and low cost but suffers from severe structural degradation and poor rate performance.In this study,we propose a molten salt-assisted synthesis in combination with a Li-refeeding induced aluminum seg-regation strategy to prepare Li5AlO4-coated single-crystalline slightly Li-rich Li1.04Ni0.92Al0.04O2.The sym-biotic formation of Li5AlO4 from reaction between molten lithium hydroxide and doped aluminum in the bulk ensures a high lattice matching between the Ni-rich oxide and the homogenous conductive Li5AlO4 that permits high Li+conductivity.Benefiting from mitigated undesirable side reactions and phase evo-lution,the Li5AlO4-coated single-crystalline Li1.04Ni0.92Al0.04O2 delivers a high specific capacity of 220.2 mA h g-1 at 0.1 C and considerable rate capability(182.5 mA h g-1 at 10 C).Besides,superior capac-ity retention of 90.8%is obtained at 1/3 C after 100 cycles in a 498.1 mA h pouch full cell.Furthermore,the particulate morphology of Li1.04Ni0.92Al0.04O2 remains intact after cycling at a cutoff voltage of 4.3 V,whereas slightly Li-deficient Li0.98Ni0.97Al0.05O2 features intragranular cracks and irreversible lattice dis-tortion.The results highlight the value of molten salt-assisted synthesis and Li-refeeding induced ele-mental segregation strategy to upgrade Ni-based layered oxide cathode materials for advanced Li-ion batteries.
