Li-x[Ni0.225Co0.125Mn0.65]O-2 cathode material for a lithium-ion battery was synthesized from metal hydroxide Ni0.225Co0.125Mn0.65(OH)(2). The co-precipitated metal hydroxide was greatly influenced by synthesis conditions of pH, concentration of chelating agent, stirring speed, and co-precipitation temperature. The conditions were optimized by observing the spherical and uniform particles, as examined by scanning electron microscopy. The optimized pH, ammonia concentration stirring speed and co-precipitation temperature were determined to be 11-12, 0.36 M, 1000 rpm and 50 degrees C, respectively. The final products, Li-x[Ni0.225Co0.125Mn0.65]O-2 had a well-ordered hexagonal super lattice layered structure as established by Rietveld refinement of X-ray diffraction pattern. As a result, the Li-x[Ni0.225Co0.125Mn0.65]O-2 compound may be considered as a excellent candidate for cathode material of Lithium secondary battery in terms of cycle life, both safety and energy density, lower cost and low environmental impact.
