Title: Molten Salt Synthesis and High Rate Performance of the ‘‘Desert-Rose’’ form of LiCoO2

Journal Article · · Advanced Materials
OSTI ID:1041764

The synthesis of a novel nanostructure of LiCoO{sub 2}, and its performance as a cathode for a high-rate lithium ion battery, is described. The LiCoO{sub 2} nanostructure resembles the morphology of a known natural mineral: 'desert rose' gypsum. A range of measurement techniques are used to investigate the growth mechanism of this structure and the origin of its high rate charge/discharge properties.
