Abstract
With an objective to assess the chemical stabilities and their consequences in cell performance, the variations of oxygen content with lithium content (1-x) in chemically delithiated Li1-xCoO2, Li1-xNi0.85Co0.15O2, and Li1-xMn204 cathodes have been monitored with redox titrations. The Li1-xNi0.85Co0.15O2 system does not lose oxygen at least for (1-x) > 0.3. The chemical instability with a tendency to lose oxygen at deep lithium extraction could be the reason for the limited practical capacity of the Li1-xCoO2 system (140 mA h/g) compared to that realized with the Li1-xNi0.85Co0.15O2 system (180 mA h/g). The Li1-xMn2O4 spinel maintains an oxygen of 4.0 wihtout losing any oxygen for 0.15 ≤ (1-x) ≤.
