Abstract
The xLi[Li[Formula: see text]Mn[Formula: see text]]O[Formula: see text](1−x)Li[Ni[Formula: see text]Mn[Formula: see text]Co[Formula: see text]]O2 was prepared by coprecipitation method in this paper. Co(NO3)2, NiCO[Formula: see text]Ni(OH)[Formula: see text]H2O, LiOH⋅H2O and MnSO[Formula: see text]H2O were used as the sources of cobalt, nickel, lithium and manganese. In the process of calcining and sintering, the temperature and time of the material were studied. The optimum conditions for the coprecipitation method synthesis were determined: precursor was pre-sintered at 500[Formula: see text]C for 5 h, then the precursor was successively sintered at 850[Formula: see text]C for 9 h to get the final product. The results of XRD and SEM showed that the composite particles and crystal structure of the particles exhibited basic integrity and high degree of crystallinity with [Formula: see text]-NaFeO2-type structure. The first charging and discharging capacities were 183.14 mA[Formula: see text]⋅[Formula: see text]h[Formula: see text]⋅[Formula: see text]g[Formula: see text] and 171.11 mA[Formula: see text]⋅[Formula: see text]h[Formula: see text]⋅[Formula: see text]g[Formula: see text] at 0.1 C with a discharge efficiency of 93%. The capacity retention rate was 95% over 20 cycles. It had a good electrochemical cycling performance.
