Abstract
Layered LiCoO₂ is usually synthesized after a prolonged sintering process at high temperatures (≥800 °C) for 10–20 h. This study developed a “hydroflux process” to obtain highly crystalline and layered LiCoO₂ at a low temperature of 300 °C within 30 min. Molten mixed hydroxide-containing water molecules significantly accelerated the formation of LiCoO₂, which showed a highly reversible capacity of 120 mAh g^–1 without postannealing. The reaction mechanism study showed……
