Abstract: An electrode material obtained using a polyol process and a synthesis method is provided. The synthesis method includes steps of preparing a mixed solution by mixing a transition metal compound, a polyacid anionic compound and a lithium compound with a polyol solvent; and obtaining a resultant product by reacting the mixed solution in a heating apparatus. There is an advantage in that the electrode material, which has crystallinity due to a structure such as an olivine structure or a nasicon structure, can be synthesized using a polyol process at a low temperature without performing a heat treatment proces. The nanoelectrode material synthesized by the method has a high crystallinity, uniform particles, and a structure having a diameter ranging from several nanometers to several micrometers. Further, the electrode material has a high electrochemical stability.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is an electrode material obtained using a polyol process and a synthesis method thereof. The synthesis method includes the steps of preparing a mixed solution by mixing a transition metal compound, a polyacid anionic compound and a lithium compound with a polyol solvent; and obtaining a resultant product by reacting the mixed solution in a heating apparatus. In conventional methods of synthesizing an electrode material, such as the sol-gel method and the solid reaction method, the electrode material is synthesized through a heat treatment process, which is a post-process. However, in the method of synthesizing an electrode material according to the present invention, there is an advantage in that the electrode material, which has crystallinity due to a structure such as an olivine structure or a nasicon structure, can be synthesized using a polyol process at a low temperature without performing a heat treatment process, which is a post-process.
