Influence of the LiCoO2 particle size on the performance of lithium-ion batteries

Synthesis of optimized LiNiO2 for lithium ion batteries

“…The effect of particle size over the performance of cathode materials is well attended [14,15,16] in terms of various promising Li intercalating cathode material. Based on the previous observations, the current trend in reduction of particle size is also expected to replicate positively on the electrochemical performance of the cathode material, Also the correlation between the par-ticle size and peak broadening is quite obvious from the XRD pattern recorded in the present study.…”

Properties of the electrode material LixCoO2

“…This effect depends on microtructure and is stronger for materials with larger average grain size. Independent experiments confirmed that Li/Li+/LixCoO2 cells with smaller particle size distribution has a better cycle stability [46]. Theretbre controlling the microstructure of LiCoO2 during its synthesis should optimise the performance of lithium battery.…”

“…This is caused by spontaneous electrolyte decomposition and corrosion of cathode material. The battery life, in respect to the number of charge/ discharge cycles is also limited due to the degradation of [11,30,46,48]. the electrode material.…”

Synthesis of Submicrometer‐Sized Electrochemically Active Lithium Cobalt Oxide via a Polymer Precursor

“…For example, laser irradiation for the actuation of three-dimensional microstructures due to thermal expansion has been reported. [4] Substrates of macromolecular chains combined with photochromic molecules are interesting candidates for light-driven microactuators. Photochromic molecules can be transformed reversibly between two isomeric forms having distinctively different absorption spectra, even when they are incorporated in macromolecular matrices.…”

“…[1] LiCoO 2 was the first of these materials to be successfully employed as powders in commercial products used for powering consumer devices [2] . The details of the crystal structure, [3] the deviation from the theoretical stoichiometry of elemental composition, the grain size and grain size distribution, [4] the particle morphology, [5] the porosity, [6] and the failure behavior upon electrochemical cycling [7] all play important and eventually decisive roles for the performance of the compound as a storage material. [8] Most of these parameters are fixed, or at least influenced by, the method of synthesis of the materials.…”
