Structural and Electrochemical Properties of Nanosize Layered Li[Li[sub 1/5]Ni[sub 1/10]Co[sub 1/5]Mn[sub 1/2]]O[sub 2]

Abstract
We report on the first synthesis of a new NASICON framework and on the investigation of its electrochemical behavior upon Li extraction coupled with structural analysis. was synthesized by a novel soft-combustion approach involving glycine as a combustion agent and the product was found to crystallize in an orthorhombic structure (space group Pmcn) with lattice parameters and Reversible extraction and insertion of lithium from and into the framework structure delivered a reversible capacity of ∼115 mAh/g (4.9-1.5 V window) after the first charge/discharge cycle. © 2004 The Electrochemical Society.
