Popis: Yttrium-doped mixed oxides, Li(Ni 0.7− y Y y Co 0.3 )O 2 , y =0.00–0.05 have been synthesized and characterized. Their cathodic behavior has been examined in cells with lithium metal as anode. The limit for Y solubility is ≤0.05. The beneficial effect of Y is evident by way of increased capacity — retention during charge–discharge cycling, up to 100 cycles at 0.2 C rate and up to 50 cycles at 1 C rate. Cyclic voltammograms indicate that the phase transitions which usually occur in LiNiO 2 during cycling, are suppressed by Co- and Y-doping but not completely eliminated. A reduced hysteresis in the anodic and cathodic peak voltages observed for y =0.05 is an indication of excellent reversibility of the electrode. Thermal stability of the charged cathode is not, however, improved by Y-doping.
