Chemical synthesis and characterization of lithium orthosilicate (Li 4SiO 4)

A solution based wet chemistry approach has been developed for synthesizing Li 4SiO 4 powders at moderate temperatures of 500°C. LiOH·H 2O and LiNO 3 have been used as starting materials for synthesizing this material in the present study. The phase evolution behavior, surface area and morphology of...

Description
Summary:A solution based wet chemistry approach has been developed for synthesizing Li 4SiO 4 powders at moderate temperatures of 500°C. LiOH·H 2O and LiNO 3 have been used as starting materials for synthesizing this material in the present study. The phase evolution behavior, surface area and morphology of the as-prepared and heat treated powders generated from both LiOH·H 2O and LiNO 3 have been studied and compared in this work. The feasibility of synthesizing a Li 4SiO 4LiNi 0.75Co 0.25O 2 based electrolyte–electrode composite material using this chemical approach is also discussed and demonstrated.
