Abstract
Layered Li[Ni 1/3Co 1/3Mn 1/3]O 2 cathode materials were synthesized by different synthesis routes using carbonate and hydroxide co-precipitation methods. Physical properties of the prepared Li[Ni 1/3Co 1/3Mn 1/3]O 2 varied depending on the synthesis method employed. These materials were applied as a positive electrode to an asymmetric electrochemical capacitor with activated carbon as the negative electrode and the electrochemical properties of the capacitor were studied. Li[Ni 1/3Co 1/3Mn 1/3]O 2 prepared by the carbonate co-precipitation exhibited higher capacitance and better rate capability with stable cycling retention over 500 cycles than Li[Ni 1/3Co 1/3Mn 1/3]O 2 prepared by the hydroxide co-precipitation. The asymmetric electrochemical capacitor (AEC) cell (AC/Li[Ni 1/3Co 1/3Mn 1/3]O 2) had a voltage slope from 0.2 to 2.2 V and delivered a capacity of 60 F g −1 with a capacity retention of 88.4% during 500 cycles based on the overall active materials weight. The leakage current was largely decreased for the asymmetric electrochemical capacitor and the maintained voltage was 84.4% during 3 days.
