Abstract

The LixNi0.23Co0.12Mn0.65O2 electrode system with various compositions (x=1.19, 1.33, 1.46, 1.58) was synthesized from a metal oxide precursor synthesized by co-precipitation method. The XRD patterns of the prepared powders revealed a hexagonal α-NaFeO2 structure (space group: R-3m, 166) and the existence of a Li2MnO3 phase in the composite structure. In particular, the low Li content sample shows a three integrated structure (spinel, Li2MnO3, LiMO2) for a Li/Metal(Ni/Co/Mn) mol ratio of 1.2. Scanning electron microscopy showed that all the synthesized samples contained spherical agglomerates with a size of 8–10μm. Among the samples tested, Li1.46Ni0.23Co0.12Mn0.65O2 shows relatively high charge and discharge capacity for the first cycle is 287, 192.9mAhg−1, respectively. Also, charge transfer resistance was also significantly improved compare with other samples.
