Synthesis and physical characterization of LiXO2 (X=Ni, Mn, Co, Cu) Nanocomposites for Li Ion Batteries

Abstract

• In present study, we prepared LiXO₂ (X=Ni, Mn, Co, Cu) nanocomposites with various chemical routes and studied chemical structural and morphological properties depends on transition metal. XRD patterns indicated that the LiXO2 nanocomposites are polycrystalline. The chemical compositions of the composites and vibrations were confirmed by Energy disperse X-Ray (EDX) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) results. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images were carried out to investigate the microstructure nanocomposites. SEM results indicate that the nanocomposites are formed from the nanoparticles and the size of nanocomposites were changed depend on transition metal.
