Issue Date: | 2022 | Publisher: | ELSEVIER SCIENCE SA | Source: | Journal of Alloys and Compounds, 892 (Art N° 162175) | Abstract: | LiNi 0.5 Mn 1.5 O 4-δ (LNMO) is a potential candidate for high voltage Co-free cathodes in lithium-ion batteries. In this study, pre-calcination temperature, time, and oven type are showcased as important parameters influencing the particle size and morphology of the LNMO powder synthesized from the aqueous citric acid-acetates-NH 3 based method. These parameters determine the amount of organic residues in the precursor powder. A superior initial discharge capacity and capacity retention are obtained by an optimum combination of the particle size and morphology for the Li|LNMO coin cells. Pre-calcination in a forced convection oven at 200 °C for 40 h results in a voluminous and foam-like LNMO precursor powder morphology with the lowest amount of organic residue, leading to a ~ 1-4 µm powder with well-defined facets. Applying 24 h pre-calcination at 170 °C in a natural convection oven results in large LNMO aggregates of ~ 70 µm. Ball-milling of the crystalline LNMO powder is effective to reduce the agglomeration and particle size but deteriorates the electrochemical performance. An initial discharge capacity of 121 mA h g-1 at 0.2 C and a capacity retention of 90% after 400 cycles at 2 C are obtained from the samples prepared by 40 h pre-calcination at 200 °C in a forced-convection oven. | Keywords: | Energy storage materials;Oxide materials;Chemical synthesis;Sol-gel processes;Crystal structure;Crystal growth | Document URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/1942/35549 | ISSN: | 0925-8388 | e-ISSN: | 1873-4669 | DOI: | 10.1016/j.jallcom.2021.162175 | ISI #: | 000711344300001 | Rights: | 2021 Elsevier B.V.
