Effect of sintering procedures in development of LicoO_2-cathodes for the molten carbonate fuel cell

摘要

LiCoO_2-powder was synthesized from carbonate precursors by calcination in air. Greentapes were tape-cast usint a non-aqueous slurry and 10 μm plastic spheres as pore formers. Sintering was carried out in air at 850-950deg.c and in argon/air at 500/750deg.c The two sintering procedures led to very different sub-micron morpholoies, with the primary particles being much smallyer in the latter case.
