Solid solutions of the formula LiNi0.7Co0.3-zAlzO2 (0.0 less than or equal to z less than or equal to 0.20) have been synthesized and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and surface area and density measurements. Single-phase materials are obtained for z less than or equal to 0.15. Their cathodic behaviour in coin cells with Li metal as anode and a liquid electrolyte is examined by charge-discharge cycling at the 0.13C rate between 2.7 and 4.3 V and by cyclic voltammetry. irreversible capacity loss occurs for all the compositions, but the phases with z = 0.05 and z = 0.10 show much less capacity fading at the end of 50 cycles as compared to those with z = 0.0 and z > 0.10. The 5 at.% Al-doped compound showed a discharge capacity of 137 mA h(-1) g after 100 cycles that corresponds to 70% capacity retention. The beneficial effect of Al-doping (z less than or equal to 0.10) is corroborated by cyclic voltammograms and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) data on charged cathodes.
