Effect of Ni2+ Content on Lithium/Nickel Disorder for Ni-Rich Cathode Materials

Li excess LiNi0.8Co0.1Mn0.1O2 was produced by sintering the Ni0.8Co0.1Mn0.1(OH)2 precursor with different amounts of a lithium source. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy confirmed that a greater excess of Li(+) leads to an increase in the number of Ni(2+) ions. Interestingly, the level of Li(+)/Ni(2+)... View More
