Abstract

LiCoO2 is an important cathode material for rechargeable batteries. Al substitution on Co sites was recently found to enhance its intercalation voltage. We have developed a reliable and less expensive method for the synthesis of such LiAlxCo1−xO2 compositions using simple salts of the constituent elements and organic solvents. X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy were used for structural characterization of these materials at various annealing temperatures. The phase evolutions in LiAlxCo1−xO2 compositions were studied using micro-Raman spectroscopy and a phase diagram is proposed based on the observations. The phase diagram suggests that thin films of these materials can be deposited at substrate temperature at about 650°C
