Abstract

The deposition of LiCoO2 nanosized particles synthesized in LiCl–CoCl2 melts on the surface of nickel foil, copper, chrome–cobalt alloy, and platinum mesh in aqueous solutions of lithium chloride at the room temperature as well as on the surface of the electron-conducting La0.6Sr0.4MnO3 oxide ceramics in chloride melt at temperature of ca. 700°C is studied. The methods of vibrational spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, ellipsometry, and scanning electron microscopy have revealed the features of the chemical composition, structure, and morphology of the precipitates obtained.
