The interlayer mixing of layered rock salt cathode materials LiNi0.7Mn0.1Co0.2O2 that prepared by mixed hydroxide method at various temperatures (750-950°C) has been studied. X-ray Diffraction (XRD) was used to determine a suitable temperature range to obtain the fully reacted sample. Phase of pure sample was obtained at high temperature above 850°C. The results of XRD show that the LiNi0.7Mn0.1Co0.2O2 samples are iso-structural with α-NaFeO2 with space group of R-3m.The sample that heated at 900°C exhibits a well-ordered and lower cation mixed layered structure than others. Rietveld refinement using XRD data was used to determine the amount of interlayer mixing vary as a function of temperature. Refinements data showed that the interlayer mixing varies depend upon the synthesis temperature and the optimum temperature to prepare LiNi0.7Mn0.1Co0.2O2 with the lowest amount of interlayer mixing was 900°C.

Spinel LiMn2O4 is one of the promising cathode materials used in commercial Li-ion batteries. In this study, Ni was partially substituted in order to give the material LiMn1.8Ni0.2O4, which was successfully synthesized using a self-propagating combustion (SPC) method. Results from Simultaneous Thermogravimetric Analysis (STA) show the small mass loss about 4.6%. The precursor then was calcined at temperature of 800 °C for 24 h, 48 h and 72 h. X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) confirms that the final products are pure and single phase with no impurities present. The morphology and crystallite size of pure samples are examined using Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FESEM). The result shows that all the materials consist of crystalline particles with smooth surface and polyhedral shaped materials.

The complexity of layered-spinel yLi2MnO3·(1 – y)Li1+xMn2–xO4 (Li:Mn = 1.2:1; 0 ≤ x ≤ 0.33; y ≥ 0.45) composites synthesized at different temperatures has been investigated by a combination of x-ray diffraction (XRD), x-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). While the layered component does not change substantially between samples, an evolution of the spinel component from a high to a low lithium excess phase has been traced with temperature by comparing with data for pure Li1+xMn2–xO4. The changes that occur to the structure of the spinel component and to the average oxidation state of the manganese ions within the composite structure as lithium is electrochemically removed in a battery have been monitored using these techniques, in some cases in situ. Our 6Li NMR results constitute the first direct observation of lithium removal from Li2MnO3 and the formation of LiMnO2 upon lithium reinsertion.

LiCoO2 is a well-known cathode material used in commercial Li-ion batteries but it has its own limitations in terms of cost and toxicity. Improvement of the material by partial substitution of Co with other transition metals is one of the alternative and effective ways to overcome the limitations and improve the electrochemical performance of cathode materials. The transition metal element used for the substitution has to be cheaper and non-toxic thus Mn is chosen here. LiCo(1-x)MnxO2 (x= 0.1, 0.2, 0.3) we synthesized by a novel route using a self-propagating combustion (SPC) method. The samples are analyzed using X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) for phase purity and Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM) for morphology and particle size studies. The materials obtained are phase pure. In terms of electrochemical activity, though it does not show better first cycle discharge capacity, the Mn doped materials have improved capacity retention. Results showed that LiCo0.9Mn0.1O2 and LiCo0.8Mn0.2O2 exhibited less than 8 % capacity loss in the 20th cycle compared to 12 % for LiCoO2.

ABSTRACTLiFePO4 has shown considerable promise as a cathode material in Li-ion batteries due to its stability, low toxicity and high cyclability. However, the data on thermodynamic stability of olivine phase FePO4 (o-FePO4), the delithiated form of o-LiFePO4, remains scarce and contradictory. In this work, o-FePO4 was synthesized by chemical delithiation of o-LiFePO4 and characterized structurally and thermally. X-ray diffraction and absorption data indicate pure olivine phase, but with residual amount of Fe2+, most likely due to incomplete delithiation. Differential scanning calorimetry and thermal gravimetric analysis reveal that o-LixFePO4 decomposes exothermally above 550 °C with about 9% weight loss, the products being trigonal phase FePO4, Fe7(PO4)6, and LiPO3.
