The synthesis of electrochemically active α-LiFeO2 nanoparticles in absolute ethanol at ambient temperature was developed using LiOH·H2O and Fe(NO3)3·9H 2O as starting materials and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electronic Microscopy (SEM), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM). The electrochemical performance of the α-LiFeO2 nanoparticles as cathode materials for lithium secondary batteries showed that the initial discharge capacity of α-LiFeO2 (theoretical capacity of 282 mA h g-1) nanoparticles was 290.6, 194, and 183.8 mA h g-1 at 0.1, 1 ...
