Abstract

Layered LiCo1/3Ni1/3Mn1/3O2 as a lithium insertion positive-electrode material was prepared by a radiated polymer gel method. The synthesis conditions and microstructure, morphology and electrochemical properties of the products were investigated by XRD, SEM and electrochemical cell cycling. It was found that the positive-electrode material annealed at 950 °C showed the best electrochemical property with the first specific discharge capacity of 178 mAh/g at C/6 and stable cycling ability between 2.8 and 4.5 V versus Li/Li+. The optimized LiCo1/3Ni1/3Mn1/3O2 exhibited rather good rate capability with the specific capacity of 173 mAh/g at 0.2C and 116 mAh/g at 4C under a fast charge and discharge mode in rate performance test.
