A short process for the efficient utilization of transition-metal chlorides in lithium-ion batteries: A case of Ni0.8Co0.1Mn0.1O1.1 and LiNi0.8Co0.1Mn0.1O2
A short process for the utilization of metal chlorides in LIBs is proposed. Porous Ni0.8Co0.1Mn0.1O1.1 microspheres were prepared by spray pyrolysis. Sintering of Ni0.8Co0.1Mn0.1O1.1 with Li2CO3 yields LiNi0.8Co0.1Mn0.1O2 cathode. LiNi0.8Co0.1Mn0.1O2 exhibits a capacity retention of 95.6% after 100 cycles at 1C. Excellent electrochemical results were obtained with minimal process optimization.
