Lithium electrochemical performance

This review focuses on the structural stability of transition metal oxides to lithium insertion/extraction rather than on their electrochemical performance. The reader should refer to cited publications to access relevant electrochemical data. Because of the vast number of papers on lithium metal oxides that have been published since the 1970s, only a selected list of references has been provided. 

The disproportionation reaction destroys the layered structure and the two-dimensional pathways for lithium-ion transport. For >0.3, delithiated Li, AV02 has a defect rock salt structure without any well-defined pathways for lithium-ion diffusion. It is, therefore, not surprising that the kinetics of lithium-ion transport and overall electrochemical performance of Li, tV02 electrodes are significantly reduced by the transformation from a layered to a defect rock salt structure [76], This transformation is clearly evident from the... 

The electrochemical performance of lithiated carbons depends basically on the electrolyte, the parent carbonaceous material, and the interaction between the two (see also Chapter III, Sec.6). As far as the lithium intercalation process is concerned, interactions with the electrolyte, which limit the suitability of an electrolyte system, will be discussed in Secs. 5.2.2.3,...

The seven papers in Chapter 6 are focused on cathode materials for lithium and lithium-ion batteries. Carbon is used as a conductive additive in composite electrodes for batteries. The type of carbon and the amount can have a large effect on the electrochemical performance of the electrode.
