Abstract

Lithium-manganese-rich transition metal oxides have attracted substantial R&D attention due to their potential for high energy-density lithium-ion batteries. In this work, in situ high-energy X-ray diffraction was deployed to investigate the phase evolution during the solid-state synthesis of Li[Li<sub>0.2</sub>Mn<sub>0.54</sub>Ni<sub>0.13</sub>Co<sub>0.13</sub>]O<sub>2</sub>. A step-wise consumption of the starting materials was observed during the one-step heating process primarily due to the heterogeneous nature of the precursor. According to observations from in situ high-energy X-ray diffraction, a two-step process was adopted to minimize the elemental heterogeneity of the final product. The electrochemical characterization results showed a substantial improvement on the reversible specific capacity for the material synthesized through the two-step process.
