LiCu 2 O 2 crystals were studied by powder X-ray diffraction and phase analysis showed that the applied growth conditions are suitable for preparation of a single-phase compound.Abstract:
LiCu 2 O 2 crystals grown by spontaneous crystallization from the fluxed melt were studied by powder X-ray diffraction. The phase analysis shows that the applied growth conditions are suitable for preparation of a single-phase compound. The as-grown crystals contain only traces of foreign phases (Li 2 CuO 2 , CuO, Cu 2 O) typical for preparation of the LiCu 2 O 2 compound. Attempts to anneal or quench the as-grown crystals led to two-phase samples containing LiCu 2 O 2 and LiCu 3 O 3 . X-ray powder diffraction pattern of a LiCu 2 O 2 crystal is reported and compared with literature data. The crystal structure is orthorhombic, space group Pnma , in agreement with literature data. Lattice parameters of the studied sample are a =5.7286(2) A, b =2.8588(1) A, and c =12.4143(3) A. Time evolution of a diffraction pattern illustrates a slow increase of the secondary-phases contribution assumed to be due to interaction of the powdered crystal with humid air. A brief summary of compounds known in the Li–Cu–O system is includedread more

Button-type lithium battery using copper oxide as a cathode
TL;DR: In this article, a button-type lithium battery with a nominal voltage of 1.5 V was studied by employing CuO with improved performance as a cathode and the effects of several additives to CuO were examined and the results revealed that CuO heated with a small quantity of Li2CO3 at high temperatures could be used as an excellent cathode material.
