Synthesis and Characterisation of Li1-xNaxNi1/3Co1/3Mn1/3O2 as Cathode Materials for Rechargeable Lithium Batteries

Article Preview

Abstract:

Preliminary study on Na-doped LiNi1/3Mn1/3Co1/3O2 was carried out to investigate possibility substitution Li with Na. Samples were prepared using modified solid state synthesis route. X-ray diffraction (XRD) results show that the most optimum synthesis temperature for parent composition x=0 in Li1-xNaxNi1/3Co1/3Mn1/3O2 was 900°C. Solid solution limit for Na-doped LiNi1/3Mn1/3Co1/3O2 is x < 0.2 (or 20% Na). For x ≥ 0.2 in Li1-xNaxNi1/3Co1/3Mn1/3O2, a secondary phase of sodium cobalt oxide (Na0.6CoO2) start to exist. Furthermore, at x ≥ 0.4, the secondary phase became a dominant phase in Li1-xNaxNi1/3Co1/3Mn1/3O2.
