V-LIMS

It is worthwhile to point out that lithium extraction from inverse spinels V[LiM]04, such as V[LiNi]04 and V[LiCo]04 takes place at high voltage, typically between 4 and 5V [153]. Lithium is extracted from the octahedral 16d sites of these spinels with a concomitant oxidation of the divalent nickel or cobalt ions. From a structural point of view, this can be readily understood because lithium must be dislodged from the 16d octahedral sites, which are of low-energy, into neighboring energetically unfavorable 8b tetrahedra, which share all four faces with 16d sites that are occupied by nickel or cobalt and by lithium. Lithium extraction reactions...
