LITHIUM COBALT OXIDE MATERIAL

摘要

The invention concerns LiCoO2 material. The material comprises LiCoO2 particles obtainable by a process in which Co(OH)2 particles comprising essentially octahedral shape particles, or Co3O4 particles obtained from Co(OH)2 comprising essentially octahedral shape particles, or Co3O4 particles comprising essentially octahedral shape particles and lithium salt are heated. The invention concerns also the Co(OH)2 particles and the Co3O4 particles. The LiCoO2 material can be used especially as a cathode material in Li-ion batteries.
