Abstract

The co-precipitation method is applied to synthesize the cathode material Li[L $i_{x}$M $n_{1-x-y}$C $r_{y}$ ] $O_2$ for lithium rechargeable batteries at $650^{\circ}C$ (CR650) and 8$50^{\circ}C$ (CR850), respectively. Rietveld indices indicate that $R_{wp}$ with respect to $R_{exp}$ ( $R_{wp}$/ $R_{exp}$) are 9.2%/10.1% for CR650 and 15.9%/9.76% for CR850, respectively. $R_{B}$ and S (GofF) shows 10.9%, 8.54% and 1.9, 1.6, respectively. Rietveld structure refinement reveals that layer structure of LiMn $O_2$ (R3m) coexists with lower symmetry of Li[L $i_{1}$3/M $n_{2}$3/] $O_2$ (C2/c) due to superlattice ordering of Li and Mn in metal-transition containing layers. Unit-cell parameters are calculated as a=2.8520(2)$\AA$, c=14.248(2)$\AA$, V=100.40(l)$\AA^3$ for CR650, and a=2.8504(1)$\AA$, c=14.2371(7)$\AA$, V=100.179(8)$\AA^3$ for CR850. Final chemistry is obtained as Li[L $i_{0.35}$M $n_{0.56}$C $r_{0.09}$] $O_2$ (CR650) and Li[L $i_{0.27}$M $n_{0.61}$C $r_{0.13}$] $O_2$ (CR850), respectively.y...y..vely.y...y..

리튬2차전지용 양극소재 개발을 위해 Li[L $i_{x}$M $n_{1-x-y}$C $r_{y}$ ] $O_2$를 공침법(co-p.ecipitation method)을 적용하여 각각 $650^{\circ}C$(CR650)와 8$50^{\circ}C$(CR850)에서 합성하였다. 리트벨트 구조분석 결과 계산의 정밀도를 나타내는 R 지수값을 보면 $R_{exp}$에 대한 $R_{wp}$값( $R_{wp}$/ $R_{exp}$)은 CR650과 CR850의 각각에 대해 19.2%/10.1%과 15.9%/9.76%를 보여주며, $R_{b}$값은 각각 10.9%와 8.54%, 그리고 S(GofF)값은 각각 1.9와 1.6으로 계산되었다. 합성된 양극소재는 공간군 R3m의 층상구조(LiMn $O_2$)가 존재하였으며, 전이금속 층 내의 Mn이 Li로 치환되면서(Li[L $i_{1}$3/M $n_{2}$3/] $O_2$) 단사구조(C2/c)의 거대격자(Superlattice) 구조현상도 관찰되었다. 계산된 단위포는 공간군 R3m, CR650이 a=2.8520(2)$\AA$, c=14.248(2)$\AA$, V=100.40(1)$\AA^3$이며, CR850은 a=2.8504(1)$\AA$, c=14.2371(7)$\AA$, V=100.179(8)$\AA^3$으로 각각 계산되었다. 또한 최종 결정된 화학식은 CR650은 Li[L $i_{0.35}$M $n_{0.56}$C $r_{0.09}$] $O_2$, CR850은 Li[L $i_{0.27}$M $n_{0.61}$C $r_{0.13}$] $O_2$으로 각각 구해졌다.다...다..구해졌다.다...다..
