Lithiated cobalt and nickel oxides are becoming very attractive as active cathode materials for secondary lithium ion secondary battery. $LiCoO_2$ is easily synthesized from lithium cobalt salts, but has a relatively high oxidizing potential on charge. LiNiOz is synthesized by a more complex procedure and its nonstoichiometry significantly degraded the charge-discharge characteristics. But $LiNiO_2$ has a lower charge potential which increases the system stability. Lithiated cobalt and nickel oxides are iso-structure which make the preparation of solid solutions of $LiNi_{1-x}Co_xO_2$ for O$LiCoO_2 and LiNiO_2$ electrode. The aim of the presentb paper is to study the electrochemical behaviour, as weU as the possibilities for practical application of layered Iithiated nickel oxide stabilized by $Co^{3+}$ substitution as active cathode materials in lithium ion secondary battery.

As cathode materials of LiMn2O4-based lithium-ion secondary batteries, Li(Mn1-$\delta$M$\delta$)2O4 (M=Ni and Co, $\delta$=0, 0.05, 0.1 and 0.2) materials which Co and Ni are substituted for Mn, were syntehsized by the solid state reaction at 80$0^{\circ}C$ for 48 hours. No second phases were formed in Li(Mn1-$\delta$M$\delta$)2O4 system with substitution of Co. However, substitution of Ni caued to form a second phase of NiO when its composition exceeded over 0.2 of $\delta$ in Li(Mn1-$\delta$M$\delta$)2O4. As the results of charging-discharging test, the maximum capacity of Li(Mn1-$\delta$M$\delta$)2O4 appeared in $\delta$=0.1 for both Co and Ni. Also, Li(Mn1-$\delta$M$\delta$)2O4 electrode showed higher capacity and better cycle performance than LiMn2O4.

$LiNi_{1/3}Mn_{1/3}Co_{1/3}O_2$ cathode material was synthesized by a mixed hydroxide methode. The surface of the $LiNi_{1/3}Mn_{1/3}Co_{1/3}O_2$ was coated with a carbon by using a sol-gel method to improve further its electrochemical properties. Electrochemical studies were performed by assembling 2032 coin cells with lithium metal as an anode. OSC (differential scanning calorimetry) data showed that exothermic reactions of charged to 4.3V vs. Li was suppressed in the carbon-coated materials. The carbon-coated $LiNi_{1/3}Mn_{1/3}Co_{1/3}O_2$ showed the improved rate capability and thermal stability.

In this study, the $LiCoO_2/LiNi_{1/3}Mn_{1/3}Co_{1/3}O_2$ mixed cathode electrodes were prepared and their electrochemical performances were measured in a high cut-off voltage. As the content of $LiNi_{1/3}Mn_{1/3}Co_{1/3}O_2$ increased in a mixed cathode, the reversible specific capacity and cycleability of the electrode enhanced, but the rate capability was deteriorated. On the contrary the rate capability of the cathode enhanced, but the reversible specific capacity and cycleability were deteriorated, increasing the content of $LiCoO_2$ in the mixed cathode. The cell of $LiCoO_2/LiNi_{1/3}Mn_{1/3}Co_{1/3}O_2$ ($50:50 wt\%$) mixed cathode delivered a discharge capacity of ca. 168 mAh/g at a 0.2 C rate. The capacity of the cell decreased with the current rate and a useful capacity of ca. 152 mAh/g was obtained at a 2.0 C rate. However, the cell showed very stable cycleability: the discharge capacity of the cell after 20th charge/discharge cycling maintains ca. 163 mAh/g.

The structural changes of $Li_{1-x}Ni_{0.5}Co_{0.2}Mn_{0.3}O_2$ cathode material for lithium ion battery during the first charge was investigated in comparison with $Li_{1-x}Ni_{0.8}Co_{0.15}Al_{0.05}O_2$ using a synchrotron based in situ X-ray diffraction technique. The structural changes of these two cathode materials show similar trend during first charge: an expansion along the c-axis of the unit cell with contractions along the a- and b-axis during the early stage of charge and a major contraction along the c-axis with slight expansions along the a- and b-axis near the end of charge at high voltage limit. In $Li_{1-x}Ni_{0.5}Co_{0.2}Mn_{0.3}O_2$ cathode, however, the initial unit cell volume of H2 phase is bigger than that of H1 phase since the c-axis undergo large expansion while a- and b- axis shrink slightly. The change in the unit cell volume for $Li_{1-x}Ni_{0.5}Co_{0.2}Mn_{0.3}O_2$ during charge is smaller than that of $Li_{1-x}Ni_{0.8}Co_{0.15}Al_{0.05}O_2$. This smaller change in unit cell volume may give the $Li_{1-x}Ni_{0.5}Co_{0.2}Mn_{0.3}O_2$ cathode material a better structural reversibility for a long cycling life.

The structure and electrochemical properties of the LixCoyNi1-yO2 (y=0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7, 1.0) system synthesized by solid state reaction with various starting materials have been investigated to optimize the characteristics and synthetic conditions of the LixCoyNi1-yO2. The first discharge capacities of LixCoyNi1-yO2 are 60 mAh/g-180 mAh/g with synthetic conditions. Among them, the LixNi0.7Co0.3O2, which was prepared with LiOH, NiO, and Co3O4 at $850^{\circ}C$, had the best electrochemical properties. The first discharge capacity of the compound was 180 mAh/g.

출발 물질로서 L $i_2$C $O_3$, NiC $O_3$, CoC $O_3$를 사용하고 조성과 합성 온도를 변화시켜, 고온 고상법에 의하여 LiN $i_{1-y}$ $Co_{y}$ $O_2$(y=0.1, 0.3, 0.5)를 합성하였다. 합성과 시료들의 결정구조, 미세구조 그리고 전기화학적 특성을 조사하였다. 80$0^{\circ}C$와 8$50^{\circ}C$에서 제조한 L $i_{x}$N $i_{1-y}$ $Co_{y}$ $O_2$는, 삼방정계(space group: R3m)의 $\alpha$-NaFe $O_2$구조로 결정화되어 있는 층상 구조를 형성하였다. LiN $i_{1-y}$ $Co_{y}$ $O_2$(y=0.1, 0.3, 0.5)는 Co의 양이 증가함에 따라 a축과 c축의 크기가 감소하였는데, 이는 코발트 이온의 크기가 니켈 이온의 크기보다 작은데 기인하는 것이다. 그러나 c축과 a축의 크기의 비(c/a)가 증가하였음은 이차원적 구조가 잘 발달됨을 보여준다. 니켈에 대한 코발트의 치환량에 따른 리튬 이온의 삽입/추출 가역성은 코발트의 치환량이 증가하면서 증가하여 y=0.3인 LiN $i_{0.9}$ $Co_{0.1}$ $O_2$에서 대체로 우수하였고 그 이상으로 y값이 증가하면 가역성이 나빠졌다. 80$0^{\circ}C$에서 합성한 LiN $i_{0.9}$ $Co_{0.1}$ $O_2$가 가장 큰 초기 방전 용량 146 mAh/g을 나타내었으며, 싸이클링 성능도 비교적 우수하였다. 8$50^{\circ}C$에서 합성한 LiN $i_{0.9}$ $Co_{0.1}$ $O_2$와 LiN $i_{0.7}$ $Co_{0.3}$ $O_2$가 우수한 싸이클링 성능을 보였다.다. 싸이클링 성능을 보였다.다.보였다.다.

리튬이차전지용 양극재는 전지 성능발전과 더불어 다양하게 발전되어 왔다. 처음으로 채용된 $LiCoO_2$는 초기의 부족한 성능을 도핑이나 표면개질이라는 기술을 채용하여 지속적인 발전을 거듭하면서 최근 4.3V에 가까운 충전전압에서도 적용 가능하게 되었다. 한편으로 응용기기가 복잡해지면서 요구되는 특성도 한층 강화되었다. 높은 작동전압 뿐만 아니라 고용량이 요구되면서 새로운 재료에 대한 연구개발이 시작되었고, 그 중에서도 ${LiNi}_{1-x}{M_xO_2}$, $Li[Ni_{x}Mn_{y}Co_{z}]O_{2}$, $Li[{Ni}_{1/2}{Mn}_{1/2}]O_{2}$등 다양한 재료들이 개발되기에 이르렀다. 최근에는 고유가에 따라 전기자동차용 개발이활발해지면서 고안전성의 새로운 재료가 필요하게 되었고, 이러한 요구에 수렴하여 ${LiMn_2}{O_4}$, $LiFePO_4$와 같은 안전성이 매우 우수한 재료가 개발되었다. 향 후 양극재 부분은 이외에도 다양한 상들이 고용량과 동시에 안전성이 뛰어난 고용체를 이루고 있는 복합체 양극재를 비롯하여 다양한 재료들이 개발될 것으로 여겨진다.

LiNi_xMn_yCo_1-(x+y)O₂의 자기특성을 고려한 자기장 이용 결정방향 제어 연구를 통해, LiNi_0.6Mn_0.2Co_0.2O₂ 결정 내 많은 비율의 (00l) plane들이 전극집전체 표면에 수직으로 정렬된 결정배향 전극을 확보하였다. 해당 결정배향 전극은 리튬이차전지의 충방전 과정 중에 낮은 전극 polarization 특성을 나타내었으며, 일반 LiNi_0.6Mn_0.2Co_0.2O₂ 전극 대비 높은 용량을 기록하였다. 결정 배향 전극은 빠른 리튬이온 전달에 적합한 구조적 특성으로 인해 리튬이차전지 성능 향상에 기여한 것으로 예상되었다. 결정배향 전극에 의한 성능 향상을 다양한 전기화학적 이론 및 분석 결과를 통해 검증, 해석하였다.

The structural and thermal stability of $Li[Co_{0.1}Ni_{0.15}Li_{0.2}Mn_{0.55}]O_2$ electrode during cycling process was studied. The sample was prepared by simple combustion method. Although there were irreversible changes on the initial cycle, O3 stacking for $Li[Co_{0.1}Ni_{0.15}Li_{0.2}Mn_{0.55}]O_2$ structure was retained during the first and subsequent cycling process. Impedance of the test cell was decreased after the first charge-discharge process, which would be of benefit to intercalation and deintercalation of lithium ion on subsequent cycling. As expected, cycling test for 75 times increased impedance of the cell a little, instead, thermal stability of $Li[Co_{0.1}Ni_{0.15}Li_{0.2}Mn_{0.55}]O_2$ was improved. Moreover, based on DSC analysis, the initial exothermic peak was shifted to high temperature range and the amount of heat was also decreased after cycling test, which displayed that thermal stability was not deteriorated during cycling.
