Abstract
The possibility of K+-β-ferrite (Kl.33Fe11O17) as a cathode active material for lithium secondary battery was investigated. It was confirmed that lithium ions certainly inserted into K+-β-ferrite. Li content y in LiyK1,33Fe11O17 was increased up to 6.79. Most of lithium ions seem to enter into γ-Fe2O3 layers of K+-β-ferrite, because alkali layers could contain only 2 alkali ions for Fe11O17. According to the cyclic voltammogram, good reversibility was observed in insertion and extraction of lithium ions. The discharge potential decreased to 1.5V vs. Li/Li+ and the charge potential increased to 4.5V vs. Li/Li+. The capacity of K+-β-ferrite has reached 200Ah/kg.
