This lithium cobalt oxide (LiCoO₂, LCO) powder from Nanografi is a cathode active material intended for research and development work on rechargeable lithium-ion batteries. It comes as a black powder with a median particle size (D50) of 9.5–11 µm, a specific surface area of 0.2–0.5 m²/g and a tap density of at least 2.8 g/cm³.
LCO has a layered crystal structure that allows lithium ions to be reversibly extracted and inserted during charge and discharge. Its comparatively high volumetric energy density has made it a common choice in studies of compact cells for portable electronics.
The reported coin-cell discharge capacity is ≥151 mAh/g at 1C between 3.0 and 4.3 V. Together with its defined particle size distribution and moisture content of no more than 0.1 %, the powder suits work on cathode formulation, electrode processing and electrochemical testing. Results in a real cell will vary with electrode composition, cell design and test conditions.
- Cathode active material for rechargeable lithium-ion battery research and electrode development.
- Battery studies for smartphones, laptops, tablets and other portable devices needing compact energy storage.
- Development of lithium-ion cells where volumetric energy density is a key design factor.
- Cathode slurry preparation, electrode coating and formulation work with conductive additives and polymer binders.
- Laboratory testing of discharge capacity, charge-discharge behaviour, cycling stability and rate performance.
- Research on particle characteristics, electrode architecture, surface modification and lithium-ion transport.
