Abstract

We have studied the modifications of structural and physical properties which occur during delithiation of lithium-nickel-cobalt oxide cathode materials. Long-range and short-range orders have been investigated using XRD, Raman and FTIR spectroscopies. Different samples LixNi0.7Co0.3O2 (0.5≤x_≤1) were prepared by electrochemical lithium deintercalation from LixNi0.7Co0.3O2. Electrochemical extraction of lithium was carried out using Li/LiCIO4 in PC/LixNi0.7Co0.3O2 cells in the potentiometric method with potential step of 10 mV. During the first charge of the Li//LixNi0.7Co0.3O2 cell, the change in the cathode structure was followed by x-ray powder diffraction and vibrational spectroscopies at room temperature. A good correlation is found between XRD data and the local environment of the host lattice. Detailled analysis of vibrational spectra shows that the octahedral oxygen environment of Li+ ions remains stable in the investigated domain of concentration.
