Pure and single phase LiNi_0.6Co_0.3Ti_0.1O₂, Li_1.05Ni_0.6Co_0.3Ti_0.1O₂, Li_1.05Ni_0.55Co_0.3Ti_0.1O₂ materials were successfully prepared using a self-propagating combustion method. The structure and morphology of the materials were characterized using X-Ray Diiffraction (XRD), Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM) and Energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy (EDX). The oxidation state of elements and their chemical environments were studied using X-Ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS). The electrochemical performances of the materials were carried by means of galvanostatic charge-discharge on the fabricated cells. XRD results showed that the materials are impurity-free and single phase with well ordered hexagonal layered structure of R-3m space group. The discharge capacities are between 141 and 145 mAhg^-1. The interstitially doped Li_1.05Ni_0.6Co_0.3Ti_0.1O₂ compound exhibits the highest first cycle capacity of 145.3 mAhg^-1 over the voltage range of 2.5 to 4.2 V compared to the undoped sample, LiNi_0.6Co_0.3Ti_0.1O₂, showing a capacity of 105.5 mAhg^-1. The 70^th cycle revealed that the Li interstitially doped material (Li_1.05Ni_0.6Co_0.3Ti_0.1O₂) shows the highest specific discharge capacity of 132.4 mAhg^-1. The capacity fading is only about 8.9% compared to 25.4% for undoped LiNi_0.6Co_0.3Ti_0.1O₂ and 10.4% for Li substitutionally doped material (Li_1.05Ni_0.55Co_0.3Ti_0.1O₂). XPS studies showed that the binding energy of Li 1s is lowest for the best performance compound meaning that the Li⁺ ions can be extracted more easily from Li_1.05Ni_0.6Co_0.3Ti_0.1O₂ than the other two materials supporting the electrochemical behaviour of the materials.
