Abstract: Li-rich material 0.4Li2MnO3·0.6LiNi1/3Co1/3Mn1/3O2 with layered/spinel heterostructure is synthesized by a simple strategy. Based on structure and morphology analyses, it reveals the as-prepared Li-rich material possesses both porous micro-nano structure and integral layered-spinel heterostructure. Moreover, the obtained layered-spinel cathode material possesses prominent electrochemical characteristics, especially the rate capability. The initial discharge capacity of the as-prepared material is 269 mAh g-1 with a high coulombic efficiency of 90.3%. The material delivers discharge capacities of 239 mAh g-1 at 0.5 C, 195 mAh g-1 at 5 C, and 175.8 mAh g-1 even at 10 C. Besides, the capacity retention of cell is still as high 1

as 80% at high current density (5C) after 200 cycles. The addition of spinel can inhibit the collaps of material structure and voltage fading upon the cycling. The 3D spinel Li4Mn5O12 phase in Li-rich compound could provide fast Li-ion diffusion pathway and the porous micro-nano structure which are the key parameters for the remarkable excellent electrochemical performance of the as-prepared cathode material.

Introduction With the rapid decrease of fossil fuels and the urgent need to resolve the environmental problems associated with fossil energy depletion, global warming, and environment pollution, renewable energy sources have received a great deal of worldwide attention.1,2 Nowadays, developing new green power sources are becoming increasingly important.3 Li-ion batteries (LIBs) have merits of high power density, high energy density and environmental friendliness, which have been regarded as one of the most promising energy storage devices for developing hybrid electric vehicles and electric vehicles. However, the major issues of low rate performances and poor cycle life need to be addressed before their large-scaled commercialization application.4 Improving the properties of the active cathode materials can promote the development of LIBs.5 Li-rich layered oxide materials, xLi2MnO3·(1-x)LiMO2 (M=Mn, Ni, Co, etc. 0
