The lithium-ion battery generates a voltage of more than 3.5 V by a combination of a cathode material and carbonaceous anode material, in which the lithium ion reversibly inserts and extracts. Such electrochemical reaction proceeds at a potential of 4 V vs. Li/Li + electrode for cathode and ca. 0 V for anode.
Positive electrodes for Li-ion and lithium batteries (also termed “cathodes”) have been under intense scrutiny since the advent of the Li-ion cell in 1991. This is especially true in the past decade.
The specific capacities of certain materials have been exploited to their full extent, but the electrochemical potentials of materials present new research avenues. The voltage of a battery originates from the difference in the electrochemical potentials of the cathode and anode.
Such electrochemical reaction proceeds at a potential of 4 V vs. Li/Li + electrode for cathode and ca. 0 V for anode. Since the energy of a battery depends on the product of its voltage and its capacity, a battery with a higher energy density is obtained for a material with a higher voltage and a higher capacity.
In addition to LiCoO 2 and other derivatives for the layered structure, such as LiNiO 2 -based electrode materials, (4, 5) lithium iron phosphate, LiFePO 4, (6) which is also found by Goodenough’s research group, is used as a positive electrode in practical applications.
In commercialized LIBs, Li insertion materials that can reversibly insert and extract Li-ions coupled with electron exchange while maintaining the framework structure of the materials are used as both positive and negative electrodes.
If the counterelectrode is metallic lithium, the cyclicity of the spinel compound is excellent even in the electrolyte of about 60°C. However, it is well known that the insertion and extraction of Li + ion for the graphite anode are obstructed by deposited mangnanese from the dissolved manganese ion in the lithium-ion batteries.

where Δ n Li(electrode) is the change in the amount (in mol) of lithium in one of the electrodes.. The same principle as in a Daniell cell, where the reactants are higher in energy than the products, 18 applies to a lithium-ion battery; the low molar Gibbs free energy of lithium in the positive electrode means that lithium is more strongly bonded there and thus lower in …

Reversible extraction of lithium from (triphylite) and insertion of lithium into at 3.5 V vs. lithium at 0.05 mA/cm2 shows this material to be an excellent candidate for the cathode of a low‐power, rechargeable lithium battery that is inexpensive, nontoxic, and environmentally benign. Electrochemical extraction was limited to ~0.6 Li/formula unit; but even with this restriction the …

OCV is one of the main indices to evaluate the performance of lithium ion batteries (LIBs), and the enhancement of OCV shows promise as a way to increase the energy density. Besides, the severe potential drop at the interfaces indicates high resistance there, which is one of the key factors limiting power density.

LiCoO 2, a widely commercialized cathode material used in Li-ion batteries, possesses an electrochemical potential or a discharge plateau at 3.9 V (vs. Li/Li +) with micrometer-sized particles. However, the discharge potential plateau disappeared with the reduction in the size of LiCoO 2 particles to 6 nm [96] ( Fig. 8 a) .
