Electrochemical Properties of Submicron-Sized Li[Ni1/3Co1/3Mn1/3]O2 Cathode Materials for Lithium-Ion Battery

Li[Ni1/3Co1/3Mn1/3]O2 cathode material is synthesized via a simple solvent evaporation method. The SEM image shows that the particles of layered Li[Ni1/3Co1/3Mn1/3]O2 material is submicron in size. The electrochemical properties of Li[Ni1/3Co1/3Mn1/3]O2 materials are carried out by charge-discharge cycling test and the electrochemical reactions in the process of charge and discharge are also investigated by the cyclic voltammetry (CV). It is found that submicron-sized Li[Ni1/3Co1/3Mn1/3]O2 material has batter electrochemical performance, which delivers the higher initial discharge capacitie
