Abstract: | To explore advanced cathode materials for lithium ion batteries (LIBs), a nanoarchitectured LiNi1/3Co1/3Mn1/3O2 (LNCM) material is developed using a modified carbonate coprecipitation method in combination with a vacuum distillation‐crystallisation process. Compared with the LNCM materials produced by a traditional carbonate coprecipitation method, the prepared LNCM material synthesized through this modified method reveals a better hexagonal layered structure, smaller particle sizes (ca. 110.5 nm), and higher specific surface areas. Because of its unique structural characteristics, the as‐prepared LNCM material demonstrates excellent electrochemical properties including high rate capability and good cycleability when it is utilized as a cathode in the lithium ion battery (LIB). |
