Quality attributes oxidation control

Compared to their anodic partners, there are considerably fewer studies concerning cathodic electrode materials it is probably attributable to the fact that cathodic materials are typically complex oxides. The synthesis of nanostructured primary units and ciystallographic alignment of complex oxides are understandably more challenging and difficult to control. Specifically, it is common for cathodic materials to contain lithium in the as-prepared state. Provided the qualities of lithium, its stoichiometry under most synthetic processing methods is problematic to govern.
