Effects of synthesis conditions on the physical and electrochemical properties of Li1.2Mn0.54Ni0.13Co0.13O2 prepared by spray pyrolysis

Layered Li1.2Mn0.54Ni0.13Co0.13O2 materials were synthesized via spray pyrolysis. Synthesis conditions were varied in order to understand their effect on the electrochemical properties of the material. Three process parameters were evaluated: aerosol flow rate, reactor wall temperature and precursor concentration. Electrochemical results show excellent batch-to-batch reproducibility and no non-uniformities, as measured by energy dispersive X-ray...
