Characteristics of LixNiO2 obtained by chemical delithiation

TL;DR: In this paper, the thermal decomposition mechanism of Li x NiO 2 is discussed based on the results of X-ray diffraction and thermogravimetric analysis, and the authors obtained a highly delithiated compound of Li 0.1NiO 2 by the latter process, whose electrochemical properties were substantially the same as those of Li X NiO2 obtained by electrochemical delithiation, as it was free from any influence of conductive agents or binders.

Structural change of oxide-ion-conducting lanthanum silicate on heating from 295 to 1073 K

TL;DR: In this article, the apatite-type crystal structures (space group P 6 3 / m ) were refined by the Rietveld method, with the anisotropic displacement parameters being assigned for all atoms.

Factors Controlling the Fluorine Content and the Electrochemical Performance of Spinel Oxyfluoride Cathodes

TL;DR: In this paper, a spinel LiMn 2-y-z Li y M z O 4 - η F η (M = Ti and Ni, 0 ≤ η ≤ 0.29) cathodes were synthesized by firing the cation-substituted L 2y-mz L y Mz O 4 oxide analogs with the fluorinating agent NH 4 HF 2 at 450°C, and it was shown that the amount of fluorine that could be incorporated into the spinel lattice is limited by the Mn valence.
