Effect of the preparation method of the cathode material LiNi0.33Mn0.33Co0.33O2 on the electrochemical characteristics of a lithium ion cell

Аннотация

Complex metal oxides with the composition LiNi_0.33Mn_0.33Co_0.33O₂ prepared by various methods: sol–gel method, solid-phase method, and thermal destruction of metal-containing compounds in oil were studied. The results of elemental analysis, TGA/DSC, powder X-ray diffraction, SEM, TEM, as well as the results of electrochemical testing of the cathodes based on the obtained materials are presented. The complex metal oxides LiNi_0.33Mn_0.33Co_0.33O₂ prepared by sol–gel processes and thermal destruction of metal-containing compounds in oil consist of primary nanosized crystallites with an average size of 90 nm covered by a nanometer carbon layer, which improves the electrochemical characteristics of lithium ion batteries.
