Abstract

[ $LiNi_{0.995}Al_{0.005}O_2$ ], $LiNi_{0.990}Ti_{0.010}O_2$ and $LiNi_{0.0990}Al_{0.005}Ti_{0.005}O_2$ were synthesized with a combustion method by calcining in an $O_2$ stream at $750^{\circ}C$ for 36 h. The X-ray diffraction patterns of these synthesized samples showed $-NaFeO_2$ structure of rhombohedral system(space group; $R{\bar{3}}\;m$) with no evidence of impurities. Among these samples, $LiNi_{0.995}Al_{0.005}O_2$ exhibited comparatively high first discharge capacity and discharge capacity, and the best cycling performance. $LiNi_{0.995}Al_{0.005}O_2$ had the first discharge capacity of 165.2 mA h/g and a discharge capacity of 116.7 mA h/g at the 50th cycle at 0.1C rate. It showed the first discharge capacity of 141.0 mA h/g and a discharge capacity of 93.5 mA h/g at the 50th cycle at 0.5C rate.
