Abstract
性质和电导率在很大程度上取决于氧化物的结构,因此首先要注意的是具有缺陷结构以及锂和氧的非化学计量的钴酸锂。
The formation, structure and transport properties of LiCoO2 are described. LiCoO2 exhibits two crystal structures, depending on both the
preparation method and synthesis temperature. High temperature lithium cobalt oxide (HT-LiCoO2) has a hexagonal layered structure, while
the low temperature oxide (LT-LiCoO2) has a cubic spinel-related structure. The dependence of the morphological characteristics (grain size,
size distribution, crystallinity) of LiCoO2 on synthesis method as well as their effect on the electrochemical properties are extensively
reviewed. As the electrochemical properties and the electrical conductivity strongly depend on the structure of the oxide, primary attention is
given to lithium cobalt oxide with defect structure and lithium and oxygen nonstoichiometry.

3.2.3. LiCoO2d
The formation of oxygen deficient lithium cobalt oxide
(LiCoO2 d) was reported by Marini et al. [87]. According
to the authors, the values of d in LiCoO2 d were 0.14 for
the sample prepared starting from a nominal Li/Co compo-
sition = 0.11 and 0.09 for the sample from a nominal Li/Co
composition = 0.25.
According to Gorshow et al. [88] and Karelina et al. [89],
the nonstoichiometric oxygen content in LiCoO2 d and its
magnetic susceptibility suggest that Co2 + ions and oxygen
vacancies are predominant defects in this oxide. Measure-
ments of the electric and thermoelectric force over the
temperature range 650– 900 jC indicated that LiCoO2 d Fig. 5. First galvanostatic charge of Li/LT-LiCoO2 (dotted line) [9], Li/HT-
