The reverse micelles procedure is a convenient route for the preparation of nanomaterials. Chemical reactions in aqueous media are carried out within a restricted volume, limited by the array of surfactant molecules. The versatility of this technique allows its use in the preparation of different electrode materials for lithium-ion batteries. The thermolysis of the reagents in aqueous solution in the micellar volume by contact with hot kerosene allows the preparation of LiCoO2, LiMn2O4, and… 

Ultrafast auto flame synthesis for the mass production of LiCoO2 as a cathode material for Li-ion batteries
