Interlayer mixing in lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxide cathode materials for rechargeable lithium batteries

Composition of LiNi1/3Mn1/3Co1/3O2 and its analogous Li[(Ni0.5Mn0.5)1-xCox]O2 were prepared by conventional solid state method to evaluate the effect of reducing cobalt contents to the layered rock salt-type cathode materials. Structural analysis using Rietveld refinement of conventional XRD data...
