Abstract

Abstract : With the addition of a liquid surfactant span 85, disk-like LiNi1/3 Co1/3 Mn1/3 O2 nanoplates with exposed (001) planes were synthesized by a simple Pechini method which showed enhanced rate performance for lithium ion battery. Abstract : With the addition of span 85, disk-like LiNi1/3 Co1/3 Mn1/3 O2 nanoplates with exposed (001) planes were synthesized using a simple Pechini method. The diameter of the disk-like LiNi1/3 Co1/3 Mn1/3 O2 nanoplates was approximately 50 nm while the thickness was around 3 nm. This result showed that the mixture of liquid surfactants played a key role in the change of morphology of the LiNi1/3 Co1/3 Mn1/3 O2 nanoplates. This kind of cathode material, which was applied in a lithium ion battery, achieved a high specific capacity of 165 mA h g −1 at 2C after 200 cycles, together with a capacity retention ratio of 98.2%.
