Method of manufacturing nano-sized lithium-cobalt oxides by flame spraying pyrolysis
First Claim
1. A method of producing nano-sized lithium-cobalt oxide by utilizing a flame spray pyrolysis, the method comprises the step of:
- spraying minute droplets, which is a solution of dissolved lithium salt and cobalt salt at a temperature below 100°
C., atomizing the minute droplets by rapidly expanding into an environment of high temperature in the range of 800°
C. to 1700°
C. provided by combusting oxygen and hydrogen, decomposing the atomized droplets thermally at said environment of high temperature in a few seconds to produce nano-sized oxides in gaseous phase, and condensing and collecting the produced nano-sized lithium-cobalt oxides.

Abstract
A method for producing nano-sized lithium-cobalt oxide is provided by using flame-spray pyrolysis. The method comprises the steps of: spraying minute droplets, which is a solution dissolved lithium salt with cobalt salt at room temperature; atomizing the minute droplets through rapid expansion into a high temperature environment generated by combusting oxygen and hydrogen; decomposing and oxidizing the atomized minute droplets thermally at high temperature to produce nano-sized oxides in gaseous phase: and collecting the produced nano-sized composite oxides particles. The produced nano-sized lithium-cobalt oxide can be applied to a highly efficient lithium battery as the electrode materials and a thin film type of battery as well as to a miniaturized battery.
