Nano-fibers of the Li[Ni1/3Co1/3Mn1/3]O2 electrode were synthesized from a metal oxide precursor using the electrospun method. The XRD patterns of all prepared powders showed a hexagonal α- NaFeO2 structure (space group: R-3 m, 166). Scanning electron microscopy showed that all the synthesized samples were comprised of nanofibers with a size of 100~800 nm. Among the samples tested, the calcined Li[Ni1/3Co1/3Mn1/3]O2 nanowires in oxygen heating atmosphere showed a high charge and discharge capacity of 239.22 and 172.81 mAhg-1 at the 1st cycle, respectively. In addition, the charge transfer resistance was also improved significantly compared to the other samples.
