Popis: The constructed potential-pH diagrams of Li-Ni (Co, Mn)-H2O system indicate that the LiNiO2, LiCoO2 and LiMnO2 are thermodynamically stable in aqueous solution within the temperature range of 25-200 °C and the activity range of 0.01-1.00. A predominant co-region of LiNiO2, LiCoO2 and LiMnO2 oxides (Li-Ni-Co-Mncomposite oxide) is found in the Li-Ni-Co-Mn-H2O potential-pH diagrams, in which the co-precipitation region expands towards lower pH with rising temperature, indicating the enhanced possibility of synthesizing Li-Ni-Co-Mn composite oxide in aqueous solution. The experimental results prove that it is feasible to prepare the LiNi0.5Co0.2Mn0.3O2 cathode materials (NCM523) by an aqueous routine. The as-prepared lithiated precursor and NCM523 both inherit the spherical morphology of the hydroxide precursor and the obtained NCM523 has a hexagonal α-NaFeO2 structure with good crystallinity. It is reasonable to conclude that the aqueous routine for preparing Ncm cathode materials is a promising method with the guidance of the reliable potential-pH diagrams to some extent.
