Abstract: A mixture of Li2CO3, NiO, Co2O3 and MnO2 with a molar ratio was introduced in the mixed high energy ball milling, LiNi1/3Co1/3Mn1/3O2 was prepared by solid state phase using mechanochemical activation which has highly reactive materials. The structure and electrochemical properties of LiNi1/3Co1/3Mn1/3O2 were analisised by employing X-ray diffraction(XRD), scanning electron microscopy(SEM) and galvanotactic charge-discharge test. Charge-discharge test results show that when the the LiNi1/3Co1/3Mn1/3O2 cathode was prepared by wet milling 10h between 2.8 V and 4.4V at a current of 0.5C rate, the initial discharge capacity is 135.1mAh/g, the capacity retention rate of 93.26% after 20 cycles. When nLi: n (Ni + Co + Mn) = 1.1, the samples sintered 20h at 850 °C, the first discharge capacity is 148.5 mAh/g, and the capacity retention rate is 94.88% after 40 cycles.

Abstract: Ternary lithium-ion battery is currently one of the hot cathode materials. In this paper, with acetate of nickel, manganese and cobalt as raw materials and lithium hydroxide as precipitation agent, LiCo1/3Mn1/3Ni1/3O2 was prepared by chemical coprecipitation method. LAND charge-discharge testing was used to study the electrochemical performance of materials at different rates (0.5C, 1C, 2C), and AC impedance spectroscopy was employed to study the rate performance and reasons of cyclical stability. The results showed that the stable SEM film formed under high rate was the main reason for the increased rate.

Abstract: The crystallization behavior of MgO-Al2O3-SiO2 glass-ceramics by sol-gel technology was investigated by using x-ray diffraction (XRD), differential thermal analysis (DTA), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results showed that: (1)α-cordierite phase was precipitated when the green body was calcined at 1050°C, and α-cordierite of high purity and stability could be formed at 1100°C; (2) Adding an appropriate amount of low melting point glass powder into the green body may provide liquid-phase environment during the sintering process, which will help enhance the tightness density of glass-ceramic, and thus improve its flexural strength.

Abstract: The glass-ceramics of MgO-Al2O3-SiO2 system were prepared by sintering technology. The crystallization process of MgO-Al2O3-SiO2 glass-ceramics was investigated with X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and other techniques; the discussion of breaking strength, thermal expansion coefficient and relevant properties at different sintering temperatures was also presented. The results show that: (1) The main crystalline phase isα-cordierite at different sintering temperatures, and the samples show high flexural strength and low thermal expansion coefficient; (2) with the increase of sintering temperature, the content of crystal phase increases, while the thermal expansion coefficient decreases evidently, the flexural strength and tightness density rise up first, then go down.

Abstract: With the acetates of nickel, manganese and cobalt as raw materials and lithium hydroxide as precipitation agent, the precursor Ni1 / 3 Co1 / 3 Mn1 / 3 (OH) 2 was first prepared by chemical coprecipitation method, which was then mixed and ballmilled with certain stoichiometric ratios of LiOH∙H2O, and ultimately obtained LiCo1/3Mn1/3Ni1/3O2 after calcination process. Single-factor experiment method, in conjunction with XRD, SEM, and charge-discharge test, was utilized to study the influence of various factors, including the dispersion way of precursor, pH value of reaction solution, and the content of ballmilling lithium on the electrochemical properties of LiCo1/3Mn1/3Ni1/3O2. The results indicated that: (1) the material dispersed by ultrasonic treatment revealed excellent cycling performance, its ratio of capacity fading decreased at least 34.1% compared to those without ultrasonic process; (2) the optimum conditions of fabricating LiCo1/3Mn1/3Ni1/3O2 may be summarized as the treatment of ultrasonic dispersion, suitable pH value (12~13) and stoichiometric ratio (1.0) of ballmilling lithium.
