Abstract
Lix[Ni0.225Co0.125Mn0.65]O2 cathode material for a lithium-ion battery was synthesized from metal hydroxide Ni0.225Co0.125Mn0.65(OH)2. The co-precipitated metal hydroxide was greatly influenced by synthesis conditions of pH, concentration of chelating agent, stirring speed, and co-precipitation temperature. The conditions were optimized by observing the spherical and uniform particles, as examined by scanning electron microscopy. The optimized pH, ammonia concentration stirring speed and co-precipitation temperature were determined to be 11–12, 0.36M, 1000rpm and 50°C, respectively. The final products, Lix[Ni0.225Co0.125Mn0.65]O2 had a well-ordered hexagonal super lattice layered structure as established by Rietveld refinement of X-ray diffraction pattern. As a result, the Lix[Ni0.225Co0.125Mn0.65]O2 compound may be considered as a excellent candidate for cathode material of Lithium secondary battery in terms of cycle life, both safety and energy density, lower cost and low environmental impact.
