Preparation of lithium-ion polymer battery using LiNi1/3Co1/3Mn1/3O2 as a cathode material and its electrochemical properties

Issue Title: Special Issue: ICE-2005 International Conference on Electroceramics In this work, LiNi^sub 1/3^Mn^sub 1/3^Co^sub 1/3^O^sub 2^ powders were synthesized from co-precipitated spherical metal hydroxide. In the voltage range of 2.8-4.2, 2.8-4.4, and 2.8-4.6 V, the discharge capacities of LiNi^sub 1/3^Mn^sub 1/3^Co^sub 1/3^O^sub 2^ electrode were 163, 177, and 193 mAhg^sup -1^, respectively. A gel polymer electrolyte (GPE) was also prepared using polyoxyalkylene glycol acrylate (POAGA) as a macromonomer. LiNi^sub 1/3^Mn^sub 1/3^Co^sub 1/3^O^sub 2^/GPE/graphite cells were prepared and their electrochemical properties were evaluated at various current densities and temperatures. The ionic conductivity of the GPE was more than 6.2 × 10^sup -3^ Scm^sup -1^ at room temperature. POAGA-based cells were showed good electrochemical performances such as rate capability, low-temperature performance, and cycleability.[PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
