Abstract

LiCo0.25Ni0.75O2 nanoparticles of 22.8 nm in geometric mean diameter were synthesized by flame spray pyrolysis from aqueous droplets of nitrate compounds of lithium, cobalt and nickel. The crystallinity of the as-prepared LiCo0.25Ni0.75O 2 particles was enhanced by post-heat-treatment at various conditions, such as temperature, duration, and atmospheric gas with different flow rates. The effect of heat-treatment on the particle morphology and crystallinity was investigated systematically. Higher heat-treating temperature under normal air atmosphere improved hexagonal ordering and sufficient O 2 flow during the heat-treatment reduced the cation mixing problem.
