Cathode materials, for Li-ion batteries

Manganese oxide (MnOy is a promising cathode material for Li-ion batteries due to its natural abundance and high theoretical capacity [44,45]. Particularly, layered Birnessite-type manganese oxide (LMO), consisting of two-dimensional (2D) monolayers of edge-shared MnO octahedra, has...

That the electrochemical activity of LiCoB03 is centered at 4 V was first demonstrated by Yamashita et al. [133], But the accessible capacity of this material was only 30 mAh/g, which is much lower than the 1-electron theoretical capacity (ca. 215 mAh/g). Reasons for the discrepancy included poor Li" diffusivity, progressive Co dissolution and amorphization at the electrode-electrolyte interface. The development of LiCoB03 as a possible high-voltage cathode material for Li-ion batteries should continue, with attention required at further optimization of the synthesis conditions.
