Disordered LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 synthesized via molten salt and ball-milling approaches for high voltage cathode in lithium-ion batteries : materials characteristics and electrochemical properties

Abstract

LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 (LNMO) has been successfully synthesized via molten salt and ball-milling methods using three different types of precursors, which is acetate, carbonate, and chloride. The powders obtained from both methods were annealed at the temperatures of 750, 850 and 950 °C; respectively for 12 hours.
