Synthesis, Characterization and Charge-Discharge Profile of LiMn<sub>0.3</sub>Co<sub>0.3</sub>Ni<sub>0.3</sub>Fe<sub>0.1</sub>O<sub>2</sub> Prepared via Sol-Gel Method
Abstract:LiCoO2 is a well established commercial Li-ion battery cathode. However, due to cost constraints and the toxicity of the metal, other layered compounds should be investigated. In this paper, layered LiMn0.3Co0.3Ni0.3Fe0.1O2 were prepared using sol-gel method with CH3COOLi•2H2O, (CH3CO2)2Mn•4H2O, (CH3CO2)2Co•4H2O, (CH3CO2)2Ni•4H2O and Fe (NO3)3•9H2O as starting materials. The sample was characterized by simultaneous thermogravimetric analysis, x-ray powder diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. The elect… Show more
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.
