Lithium nickel-cobalt oxides were synthesized at low temperature using a precipitation method involving dissolution of metal acetates and Li(COOCH3) in oxalic acid (dicarboxylic acid). Pyrolysis of the precipitate at 400-600 degrees C produced single phase LiNi1-yCOyO2 (0.3 <= y <= 0.7) with submicron-sized particles. Oxalic acid acted as a fuel, decomposed the homogeneous precipitate of metal complexes at low temperature, and yielded the free impurity LiNi1-yCoyO2 compounds. The physicochemical properties of synthesized products were investigated by structural (XRD, SEM), spectroscopic (FTIR and Raman) and thermal (DTA/TG) analyses. The electrochemical properties of the LiNi1-yCoyO2 cathode materials were evaluated in rechargeable Li cells by employing a nonaqueous organic electrolyte mixture of 1M LiPF6 in EC+DMC. The cells maintained excellent cyclability at moderate charge-discharge rates.
