Crystalline LiCoO2nanoparticles were synthesized from an aqueous solution of acetate compounds of lithium and cobalt by a flame spray pyrolysis, and characterized by TEM, XRD, and BET method. We investigated the evolution of LiCoO2nanoparticles from liquid droplets sprayed along the flame and observed disintegration of aqueous precursor droplets about 10 mu m into smaller fragments around 50 nm in the high temperature flame, as well as decomposition/oxidation of the precursor and coalescence/coagulation. We also examined effects of process variables such as molar concentrations of the precursors and flow rates of combustible gases on the particle size and crystal structure. The average particle diameter increased with an increase in the molar concentration of the precursor. Raising the maximum flame temperature by controlling the gas flow rates also led to an increase in the average diameter of the particles. The crystalline nanoparticles synthesized were nearly spherical, and their average primary particle diameters ranged from 11 to 35 nm.
