This paper reports the synthesis of LiNi_0.8Co_0.15Al_0.05O₂ (NCA) cathode powders using a simple flame assisted spray pyrolysis (FSP) and a spray drying (SD) processes, in which metal salt precursors dissolved in glycerol were used for spraying. X-ray diffraction confirms that the NCA powders have a layered structure, with a low order of cationic mixing. Electron microscopy shows that the particles produced by FSP have a relatively smaller size and a smoother surface than that produced by SD. The NCA powder from the FSP process has an initial discharge capacity of 200.2 mAh/g in voltage range of 3.0–4.3 V at 0.1C. It shows very good capacity retention of 91.5% at 1C and 89.4% at 5C after 200 cycles. Furthermore, these results demonstrate that glycerol can replace water and be used as a solvent in spray processes to make cathode powders, promising a new environmentally-friendly synthesis route for battery powder materials production.
