Abstract
The formation, structure and transport properties of LiCoO2 are described. LiCoO2 exhibits two crystal structures, depending on both the preparation method and synthesis temperature. High temperature lithium cobalt oxide (HT-LiCoO2) has a hexagonal layered structure, while the low temperature oxide (LT-LiCoO2) has a cubic spinel-related structure. The dependence of the morphological characteristics (grain size, size distribution, crystallinity) of LiCoO2 on synthesis method as well as their effect on the electrochemical properties are extensively reviewed. As the electrochemical properties and the electrical conductivity strongly depend on the structure of the oxide, primary attention is given to lithium cobalt oxide with defect structure and lithium and oxygen nonstoichiometry.
