LiCoO2-and LiMn2O4-based composite cathode materials

Inorganic Materials Aims and scope

Abstract

We have prepared composite cathode materials based on two electrochemically active compounds, LiCoO2 and LiMn2O4, and investigated their properties. The results indicate that the discharge capacities of all the materials studied exceed the additivity rule values calculated from the discharge capacities of the starting materials. The effect of heat treatment on the physicochemical properties of the composites is analyzed.
