Toda Kogyo Corporation

Toda Kogyo Corporation is promoting the development for each cathode material for lithium-ion batteries depending on their use for example, LiCoO for notebook personal computers and cellular phones LiMn O for hybrid electric vehicles (HEV) and LiNiO for high-capacity batteries. Special efforts are being made in the improvement of the above problems, i.e., cycle characteristics and thermal stability, for LiNiOj, so that this compound can be included in the market trend of lithium ion batteries. This chapter presents the results of the process development to improve the above-mentioned problem. 

Generally, LiNiO is prepared using nickel hydroxide particles as a precursor, its high-packing density being one important characteristic of this compound. Toda Kogyo Corporation succeeded in the original development of a synthetic method to...
