Structural Analysis of LiNi0.7Mn0.3O2 as Cathode Material for Rechargeable Lithium-Ion Batteries

Article Preview

Abstract:

The layered rock salt LiNi0.7Mn0.3O2 was prepared by conventional solid-state synthesis route. The prepared samples were analysed using X-ray diffraction (XRD) to determine purity of samples. Then, structural analysis and crystallographic properties of samples were analysed using Rietveld refinement. Rietveld refinement results indicated that the amount of cation disorder in the layered rock salt structure highly influenced by temperature and synthesis conditions. The most optimum temperature to obtain the highest degree of cation ordering is between 850oC and 900oC in air.
