Abstract

The purpose of this study is to synthesize lithium transition-metal oxide nanoparticles by induction thermal plasmas. Six different systems of Li-Mn, Li-Cr, Li-Fe, Li-Co, Li-Ti, and Li-Ni were compared to understand the formation mechanism. The obtained results indicated that lithium metal oxide nanoparticles were successfully synthesized in Li-Mn, Li-Cr, Li-Fe, Li-Co, and Li-Ti systems, while those nanoparticles were rarely synthesized in Li-Ni system. This difference was discussed on the basis of thermodynamic consideration. The yield of prepared lithium metal oxides depends on the ratio of Gibbs free energy change of lithium transition-metal oxides to that of metal oxides.
