Influence of Lithium Content on Performance of Layered Li1+z[Ni0.45Mn0.45Co0.1]1-zO2 in Lithium Ion Batteries
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 26 February 2011
Abstract
Li1+z[Ni0.45Mn0.45Co0.1]1-zO2(0.8≤1+z≤1.2) has been synthesized by the co-precipitation method. It was found that 5% excess lithium must be added to obtain the desired composition. XRD results show that an apparent single-phase structure appears except for the lowest lithium content. The layered character of the structure increases with increasing lithium content and Rietveld refinement reveals that cation disorder decreases rapidly as more lithium is added. This conclusion is further confirmed by magnetic studies in which only Li0.8[Ni0.45Mn0.45Co0.1]1.2O2 and Li0.9(Ni0.45Mn0.45Co0.1)1.1O2 show magnetization hysteresis loops. The electrochemical behavior of this series of samples is compared to figure out the best lithium to transition metal ratio.
