Application

Lithium cobalt(III) oxide is a critical substance essential for the development of high-performance, advanced battery systems. It is a dark gray powder characterized by its crystalline structure, with lattice parameters a=0.2817 nm and c=1.4059 nm. This compound can be synthesized by reacting Li2CO3 or LiOH·H2O with CoCO3 at high temperatures between 850°C and 900°C for 24 hours in air. Beyond its use in ceramics, its primary application is as an insertion electrode in lithium battery systems, benefiting from the fluxing properties of lithium oxide and the adhesive qualities akin to cobalt oxide.
