Current commercially available rechargeable Li-ion batteries, for example LiCoO2, are working mostly in the 4 V regime. One often suggested possibility to improve the effectivity of Li-ion batteries are the creation of the 5 V cathode materials. We performed quantum mechanical calculations on the average battery voltage for the Li2Co[Formula: see text]Mn[Formula: see text]O8 (x = 0, 1, 2, 3 and 4) cathode materials by means of the WIEN2k computer program package. The calculated average battery voltages for x = 0, 1, 2, 3 and 4 are equal to 3.95, 5, 4.47, 4.19 and 3.99 V. Our ab initio calculation results are compared with the available experimental data for x = 0, 1, 2 and 4 which are equal to 4, 5, 5 and 4 V. Thereby, for the Li2Co1Mn3O8 battery cathode material, our calculated average battery voltage around 5 V is in perfect agreement with the experimentally available battery voltage value of 5 Volt. Nevertheless, our calculated average battery voltage is underestimated (4.47 V) for the Li2Co2Mn2O8 cathode material, which also experimentally exhibits the 5 V voltage.

Composites of {[(1-x-y) LiFe0.333Ni0.333 Co0.333] PO4}, xLi2FePO4F and yLiCoPO4system were synthesized using the sol-gel method. Stoichiometric weights of the mole-fraction of LiOH, FeCl2·4H2O and H3PO4, LiCl, Ni(NO3)2⋅6H2O, Co(Ac)2⋅4H2O, as starting materials of lithium, Iron, Nickel , and Cobalt, in 7 samples of the system, respectively. We exhibited Li1.167 Ni0.222 Co0.389 Fe0.388 PO4 is the best composition for cathode material in this study. Obviously, the used weight of cobalt in these samples is lower compared with LiCoO2 that is an advantage in view point of cost in this study. Charge-discharge haracteristics of the mentioned cathode materials were investigated by performing cycle tests in the range of 2.4–3.8 V (versus Li/Li+). Our results confirmed, although these kind systems can help for removing the disadvantage of cobalt which mainly is its cost and toxic, the performance of these kind systems are similar to the commercial cathode materials in Lithium Ion batteries (LIBs).
