Effect of Particle Size on Heating Time in Synthesis of Cathode Materials for Li-ion Battery

Abstract

It requires a long heating time and a lot of energy to synthesize lithium manganese oxide as cathodes for Li-ion batteries by conventional solid reaction methods. In order to achieve the low energy process, we focus attention on particle sizes of raw materials. It was shown that reducing particle sizes of raw materials was effective in saving energy in heating process of lithium manganese oxide.
