Problems solved by technology

Lithium cobalt oxide (LiCoO2) has the advantages of high operating voltage and excellent capacity characteristics, but its disadvantages are that its thermal characteristics deteriorate due to crystal structure instability caused by delithiation, and its structural become unstable at high voltage
In addition, the oxidation number of Co increases to 4+ due to oxidation during charging, and lithium cobalt oxide (LiCoO2) has a deteriorated surface stability and a reduced service life due to side reactions with the electrolyte The problem

Embodiment 1

[0105] In a 5 L batch reactor set at 60 °C, the CoSO 4 mixed in water, and further compared to CoSO 4 Al mixed in an amount of 0.3% by weight 2 (SO 4 ) 3 , to prepare a precursor-forming solution at a concentration of 2M. Connect the vessel containing the precursor-forming solution to load it into the reactor, and additionally prepare 25% aqueous NaOH and 15% NH 4 OH aqueous solution and connect it to the reactor. Add 1 L of deionized water into the co-precipitation reactor (capacity of 5 L), then purge nitrogen into the reactor at a rate of 2 L / min to remove dissolved oxygen in the water, and set the interior of the reactor to non-oxidizing atmosphere. Thereafter, 10 ml of a 25% aqueous NaOH solution was added, and the mixture was stirred at a temperature of 60° C. at a stirring speed of 1,200 rpm so as to maintain a pH of 12.0. Then, the precursor forming solution was added at 4 ml / min, the NaOH aqueous solution was added at 1 ml / min, and the NH 4 OH aqueous solution...
