Abstract
LiNi1-xMgxO2 (x=0, 0.025, 0.05, 0.075, 0.1) samples were synthesized by the solid-state reaction method. The crystal structure was analyzed by X-ray powder diffraction and Rietveld refinement. LiNi 1-xMgxO2 samples give single phases of hexagonal layered structures with a space group of R-3m. The calculated cation-anion distances and angles from the Rietveld refinement were changed with Mg contents in LiNi1-xMgxO2. The thicknesses of NiO2 slabs were increased and the distances between the NiO 2 slabs were decreased with the increase in Mg contents in the samples. The electrical conductivities of sintered LiNi1-xMg xO2 samples were around 10-2 S/cm at room temperature. The electrochemical performances of LiNi1-xMg xO2 were evaluated by coin cell test. Compared to LiNiO2, LiNi0.95Mg0.05O2 exhibited improved highrate capability and cyclability due to the well-ordered layered structure by doping of Mg ion.
