Lithium Cobalt (III) Oxide Powder Description
Lithium Cobalt Oxide, also known as Lithium Cobaltate, has the chemical formula LiCoO2 and is an inorganic compound. It is mainly used in the manufacture of lithium-ion batteries for mobile phones and notebook computers and other portable electronic devices as cathode materials.
Advantages when using:
- Suppress battery polarization, reduce thermal effects, and improve rate performance;
- Reduce the internal resistance of the battery and significantly reduce the dynamic internal resistance increase of the cycle;
- Improve consistency and increase battery cycle life;
- Improve the adhesion between the active material and the current collector, and reduce the manufacturing cost of the pole piece;
- Protect the current collector from corrosion by the electrolyte;
- Improve the processing properties of lithium iron phosphate and lithium titanate materials.
