Description

Lithium Cobalt Oxide (LiCoO₂) is a high-performance inorganic compound widely used as a cathode material in rechargeable lithium-ion batteries due to its exceptional electrochemical stability, high energy density, and reliable cycle life. This layered oxide material adopts a hexagonal crystal structure, facilitating efficient lithium-ion intercalation and deintercalation during charge/discharge cycles. With a molecular formula of CoLiO₂ and CAS number 12190-79-3, our premium-grade Lithium Cobalt Oxide is synthesized under stringent conditions to ensure ultra-high purity (>99.9%), minimal impurities, and controlled particle size distribution for optimized battery performance. Available in powder form with customizable micronization (e.g., 5-micron), it is ideal for research institutions and industrial applications requiring advanced energy storage solutions. The material is characterized by excellent thermal stability (up to 300°C) and a theoretical capacity of ~274 mAh/g, making it a benchmark for portable electronics, electric vehicles, and grid storage systems. Proper handling under inert conditions is recommended to prevent moisture absorption.

Lithium Cobalt Oxide serves as the dominant cathode material in commercial lithium-ion batteries, particularly for consumer electronics like smartphones and laptops due to its high volumetric energy density. It is also employed in thin-film batteries and solid-state battery research, where its well-defined redox properties at ~3.9V vs. Li/Li+ are critical. Researchers utilize LiCoO₂ nanoparticles to study surface modifications for enhanced rate capability and thermal safety. Industrial applications extend to medical devices and aerospace power systems where reliability is paramount.
