T. Ohzuku et Y. Makimura, Layered lithium insertion material of LiNi1/2Mn1/2O2: A possible alternative to LiCoO2 for advanced lithium-ion batteries, CHEM LETT, (8), 2001, pp. 744-745
We have successfully prepared a layered nickel manganese oxide of LiNi1/2Mn
1/2O2 (a = 2.89 Angstrom and c = 14.30 Angstrom in hexagonal setting) and s
hown that this material may be a possible alternative to LiCoO2 for advance
d lithium batteries in terms of the operating voltage, rechargeable capacit
y, cycleability, safety, and materials economy.
