Cathode in battery11/25/2023 While the most common example is LCO, Lithium nickel oxide and Lithium manganese oxide are also well known. This is a group of compounds with two-dimensional crystal morphology. For materials to be used as LIB cathode, the Li ions must be able to diffuse freely through the crystal structure. Although LCO remains the most common cathode material, its total market share has been gradually eroded by other materials due to considerations of cost and associated safety and environmental hazards and hence, various other cathode materials have been developed. Lithium cobalt oxide (LCO) is one of the most widely material for cathodes. A balance between the capacity and cycle life of the battery will lead to more efficient batteries in the future. It is generally observed that having a cathode capable of enhancing the capacity of a battery has a detrimental effect on its cycle life. Lithium metal oxides are being used ubiquitously as the traditional cathode material for lithium-ion batteries. The cathode (or the positive terminal) remains at higher potential during discharging of the battery.Ĭathodes have always been thought of as the primary factor related to the high capacity and superior power delivery of lithium-ion batteries. On charging the battery the movement of the electrons is reversed and the cathode regains its higher potential. During discharge, the cathode undergoes reduction (or gain of electrons) and the lithium ions accumulate in the cathode.
