Abstract

There is interest in lithium intercalation oxide materials for cathodes in rechargeable batteries. We have synthesized LiMOx, (where M = Mn, Co) by a less expensive solution route. Reagent grade acetates or hydroxides as precursors for lithium, manganese, and cobalt, respectively, with methoxy ethenol and acetic acid as solvents were used. Powders with different compositions were achieved at annealing temperature below 700 °C. Thin films were deposited by spin coating. X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, and impedance spectroscopic results are presented. These studies indicate that this synthetic route is suitable to produce good quality lithium-based oxides useful for cathode in lithium-ion rechargeable battery.
