Abstract

A LiCoO 2 -based cathode material was synthesized from a core-shell structured precursor whose core was LiCoO 2 and the shell was mixed metal hydroxide of MOOH (M = Ni 1/2 Mn 1/2 ) co-precipitated onto the LiCoO 2 seeds. The core of the final material was covered with dense [Li(Ni 1/2 Mn 1/2 ) 1-x Co x O 2 ] shell. The core-shell cathode material showed an exceptional cycling stability at high voltage up to 4.5 V maintaining high rate performance. Further improvement up to 4.6 V was achieved applying a fluorination process. The thermal stability measurement using differential scanning calorimetry indicated that the core-shell material was more stable than conventional material having the same composition.
