Synthesizing Ultra-fine LiCoO2 by Glycine-nitrate Combustion Method

This paper was publish at International Meeting on Lithium Batteries, 18 - 23 Jun 2006, Biarritz, France.
(a)
(b)
In this paper, Glycine-Nitrate Combustion method, which is a self sustaining combustion process using metal nitrates as the oxidizer and glycine as the fuel has been used to obtain an ultra-fine and electrochemically active powder of LiCoO2.
Figure (a) shows very fine particle size of LiCoO2, which is less than 100nm. Figure (b) shows cyclic voltammogram of LiCoO2, scan at 10mV/min, within voltage range of 3.0 to 4.2 volt.
