Electrochemical performance of layered Lico0.9X0.1O2 (X = Cr, Mn, Fe, Ni) cathode materials for lithium-ion batteries / Nor Syamilah Syamimi Mohd Abdillih

LiCoO2 is one of the main cathode materials used in commercial lithium-ion batteries due to the high rate capacity, high energy density and good life cycle. However, the LiCoO2 cathode material is high cost and toxic. Besides, this cathode material also suffers from a few limitations such as low the...

Electrolysis LiCoO2 is one of the main cathode materials used in commercial lithium-ion batteries due to the high rate capacity, high energy density and good life cycle. However, the LiCoO2 cathode material is high cost and toxic. Besides, this cathode material also suffers from a few limitations such as low thermal stability and structural degradation when charging at a higher voltage. Therefore, the search for better cathode material is needed to be developed to improve the performance of existing LiCoO2. One of the approaches is the substitution of LiCoO2 with transition metal which is cheaper and non-toxic that can enhance the structural stability and electrochemical properties. In this work, LiCo0.9X0.1O2 (X = Cr, Mn, Fe, Ni) prepared by self-propagating combustion (SPC) method using citric acid as a combustion agent were investigated.
