Nickel-rich materials have been considered as promising cathode candidates for Li-ion batteries. In this work, the spherical Ni0.8Co0.1Mn0.1(OH)2 precursor with good crystalline is synthesized via a hydrothermal method assisted with microfluidics. The effects of (NH4)2CO3 aqueous solution addition ratio and hydrothermal time on the formation of precursors are investigated comprehensively. The as-obtained precursors after optimization (hydrothermal time of 24 h and the concentration of the (NH4)2CO3 is 0.3 mol/L) display the spherical microstructure with homogenously distribution morphology, which can be clearly observed by scanning electron microscope. This work provides a rational route to controllably prepare the spherical Ni0.8Co0.1Mn0.1(OH)2 precursors.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
