Composites of {[(1-x-y) LiFe0.333Ni0.333 Co0.333] PO4}, xLi2FePO4F and yLiCoPO4system were synthesized using the sol-gel method. Stoichiometric weights of the mole-fraction of LiOH, FeCl2·4H2O and H3PO4, LiCl, Ni(NO3)2⋅6H2O, Co(Ac)2⋅4H2O, as starting materials of lithium, Iron, Nickel , and Cobalt, in 7 samples of the system, respectively. We exhibited Li1.167 Ni0.222 Co0.389 Fe0.388 PO4 is the best composition for cathode material in this study. Obviously, the used weight of cobalt in these samples is lower compared with LiCoO2 that is an advantage in view point of cost in this study. Charge-discharge haracteristics of the mentioned cathode materials were investigated by performing cycle tests in the range of 2.4–3.8 V (versus Li/Li+). Our results confirmed, although these kind systems can help for removing the disadvantage of cobalt which mainly is its cost and toxic, the performance of these kind systems are similar to the commercial cathode materials in Lithium Ion batteries (LIBs).

Since the commercialization of Li-ion batteries by Sony in 1990, the performance of cathode materials used in Li-ion batteries has improved significantly. However, Li-ion batteries cannot respond to the needs of the energy storage market in terms of energy density. In order to increase theoretical energy density of active materials, molar mass of the active material should be decreased, or electron number participating per reaction or reaction potential should be increased. In this study, it was aimed to produce cathode materials for Li-ion batteries in the form of composite nanofibers via electrospinning method. For this purpose, porous LiFexMn1-xPO4/C composite nanofibers (1 ] x ] 0) were synthesized with a scalable, two-step method (electrospinning and subsequent heat treatment). The morphological, structural and electrochemical properties of the LiFexMn1-xPO4/C composite nanofibers were determined by scanning electron microscope, X-ray diffraction and galvanostatic charge/discharge tests. Cathodes made of LiFexMn1-xPO4/C composite nanofibers showed various advantages such as long cycle life, improved electrochemical performance etc. due to the presence of carbon and LiFexMn1-xPO4 in the composite structure. With the addition of Mn to the structure of LiFePO4/C composite nanofibers, electrochemical performance was improved. LiFe0.8Mn0.2PO4/C composite nanofibers showed the best performance in terms of energy density among the samples. Further increment in Mn/Fe ratio resulted declining electrochemical capacity and energy density.

A series of Li[Ni0.8Co0.1Mn0.1]O2were synthesized with different [Ni0.8Co0.1Mn0.1](OH)2as precursors. Because the precursors were obtained via hydrothermal method at solutions with different ratios of ethanol and distilled water, they present different morphology in details. This phenomenon were inherited by the Li[Ni0.8Co0.1Mn0.1]O2. In addition, as-synthesized materials Li[Ni0.8Co0.1Mn0.1]O2perform distinct electrochemical properties as cathode materials in lithium-ion battery. The results indicate that more ethanol used in this work is effective to modify the surface structure of materials leading to better electrochemical properties. In addition, more ethanol in synthesis process could also improve the density of samples.

One of the main goals for most of the research in advanced Li-ion batteries is to develop cathode materials with improvement on cost and toxicity. This is to replace the existing commercial cathode material, LiCoO2. LiNi0.4Co0.6O2 was introduced as one of the most promising candidates for a cathode material due to its lower cost and higher capacity compared with LiCoO2. Modification of cathode materials by substituting with other materials is one of the alternative ways to improve the electrochemical performance of the material. In this case, a little amount of Ti was substituted to replace Co in order to give the material LiNi0.4Co0.55Ti0.05O2. Results showed that the substituition of some Co with Ti improves the electrochemical behavior of the material.
