摘要

This study compares co-precipitation and hydrothermal routes for synthesizing LiNi0.5Mn0.3Co0.2O2 (NMC532). X-ray diffraction with Rietveld refinement, SEM–EDS, and ICP-OES were used to evaluate phase purity, crystallinity, particle morphology, and compositional distribution. Both routes produced layered R–3 m oxides with similar lattice parameters and pronounced (003)/(104) splitting. Hydrothermal synthesis yielded narrower diffraction peaks, larger crystallites, and more uniform particle morphology, whereas co-precipitation exhibited broader particle distributions and stronger Mn deficiency according to ICP-OES analysis. Both samples showed mild lithium excess (Li/TM > 1). These findings clarify synthesis–structure–composition relationships in layered NMC532 cathodes.
