Cobaltites lithium

MTU describes a double-layer cathode a first layer of lithium-treated NiO and a second layer of cerium-activated lithium cobaltite. The objectives are reduced polarisation resistance and longer life. No performance details are given. 

Femandes-Rodriges, Morales, Tirado synthesized mechanochemically lithium ferrite and lithium cobaltite from lithium hydroxide and corresponding oxihydroxide 5-FeOOH or CoOOH [37]. Similarly, barium hexaferrite BaFei20i9, including that doped with titanium and cobalt, was obtained from Ba(0H)2-H20 and y-FeOOH [38].

The main fault of lithium-manganese spinels (alongside with a somewhat lower specific capacity as compared to cobaltites and nickelates) is the relatively high degradation of capacity under cycling, especially at elevated temperatures.
