Abstract—Nanostructure materials are currently of <strong>in</strong>terest for lithium ion battery because of their high surface area,<br />

porocity, etc. It was observed that lithium ions transport, battery stability and batteries specific capacities <strong>in</strong>creased by us<strong>in</strong>g<br />

nanostructures. Moreover depend<strong>in</strong>g on the characteristic of nanostructures <strong>in</strong>ternal resistance along the path of electronic<br />

conductivities has been decreased and that of the high charge/discharge rate has been observed.<br />

Nowadays nanomaterial’s sciences have started to use for<br />

lithium ion battery applications [1,2]. Recently the<br />

nanostructured materials have used to be energy storage<br />

devices such as high charge/discharge rate lithium ion<br />

batteries [3]. This newly developed energy storage devices can<br />

be used for requir<strong>in</strong>g high power applications such as electric<br />

and hybrid electric vehicles. The reason for that is advantage<br />

of this type next-generations battery, electrode materials used<br />

<strong>in</strong> battery have high charge/discharge rate. Rechargeable<br />

lithium ion batteries consist of positive electrode (cathode),<br />

negative electrode (anode) and Li-ion conta<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g electrolyte<br />

[4].<br />

As the classic lithium ion batteries LiCoO 2 cathode<br />

material and graphite as the anode materials were used.<br />

Dur<strong>in</strong>g the charge process Li ions are extracted from the<br />

LiCoO 2 and cont<strong>in</strong>uously <strong>in</strong>serted graphic carbon electrode.<br />

lithium ion battery.<br />

Discharge process occurs <strong>in</strong> reverse charge process. So, Li<br />

ions are extracted from the negative electrode a cont<strong>in</strong>uously<br />

<strong>in</strong>serted positive electrode. The classical <strong>in</strong>sertion/extraction<br />

process is shown <strong>in</strong> Fig. 1 [4].<br />

The cathode half reaction is:<br />

LiCoO 2 1-x CoO 2 + xLi + + xe -<br />

The anode half reaction is :<br />

xLi + + xe - +6C x C 6<br />

Overcharge up to 5.2 V leads to the synthesis of cobalt<br />

(IV) oxide, as evidenced by X-ray diffraction (XRD) [5].<br />

LiCoO 2 + +CoO<br />

In lithium ion batteries lithium ions are transported to anode<br />

oxidiz<strong>in</strong>g of transition metal Co from Co<br />

+3 to Co +4 <strong>in</strong> LiCoO 2 a<br />

cathode material and transported to cathode with this metal Co<br />

reduc<strong>in</strong>g from Co +4 to Co +3 dur<strong>in</strong>g discharg<strong>in</strong>g<br />

As active cathode materials <strong>in</strong> lithium ion batteries use of<br />

LiMO2 type structure is common. (M: Co, Ni, Mn, V)<br />

Accord<strong>in</strong>g to the charge/discharge state these structure tend to<br />

give Li + or receive Li + .<br />

Materials also used as cathode should be easily prepared,<br />

must have high operat<strong>in</strong>g voltage and high capacity. The<br />

research purposed of synthesiz<strong>in</strong>g and development of LiCoO 2<br />

materials is to improve the performance of these materials. The<br />

purpose of these studies was prepared as LiCoO 2 particles of<br />

various sizes and dimensional. Template –prepared LiCoO 2<br />

have been demonstrated to show much improved electrode<br />

performance than that their bulk form and even outperform the<br />

nanoparticles counterparts obta<strong>in</strong>ed without template [6].<br />

LiNiO2, which is used as a cathode material, is attractive for<br />

the researchers for hav<strong>in</strong>g low redox potential and be<strong>in</strong>g<br />

affordable. Yet prepar<strong>in</strong>g LiNiO 2 stoichiometrically is a rather<br />

hard process. So, dop<strong>in</strong>g cobalt to LiNiO 2 enables to have the<br />

suitable cathode material. As the result of these works, the XRD<br />

results of the structures of LiNixCoyO2 nanotube doped with<br />

LiCoO 2 and cobalt are similar to the XRD result of these<br />

materials bulked state. The difference between these two can be<br />

regarded as <strong>in</strong> the XRD results of the nanotubes, the cells are<br />

broadened and the bulk density is lowered. The reason of these<br />

differences is the size of the small particles of the<br />

nanostructures.[7]<br />
