In this work, a simple way was contrived to enhance the rate capability and cycle life of LiNi(x)MnyCo((1-x-y))O(2) by doping Zr into the material. Zr-doped LiNixMnyCO((1-x-y))O-2 was synthesized by solution-based synthetic route, and its electrochemical performance was investigated as 2016 coin-type half cell. With doping, some impurity peaks appeared in the XRD pattern, which seems to be related to Zr containing oxides. The enhanced characteristics in the rate capability and cycle life might be the result of the protective effect of Zr oxide against the decomposition of electrolyte and a faster Li diffusion rate.
