Subsequent annealing at Formula enhances the rate capability of LiNi[subscript 0.5]Mn[subscript 0.5]O[subscript 2], delivering 180 mAh/g at 55[degrees]C and 8C rate compared to 50 mAh/g of LiNi[subscript 0.5]Mn[subscript 0.5]O[subscript 2] quenched from 1000[degrees]C . Although Rietvled refinement analyses of X-ray diffraction (XRD) data showed that there were no significant changes in the lattice parameters and cation distributions of the layered structure before and after annealing, XRD and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy revealed that annealing significantly reduced surface impurity phases such as lithium carbonate and Mn[superscript +3]-containing species. The influence of surface chemistry changes on the rate capability of LiNi[subscript 0.5]Mn[subscript 0.5]O[subscript 2] was discussed.United States.
