Many cathode materials were explored for the development of lithium-ion batteries. Among these developments, lithium cobalt oxide plays a vital role in the effective performance of lithium-ion batteries.
The use of cobalt in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) traces back to the well-known LiCoO 2 (LCO) cathode, which offers high conductivity and stable structural stability throughout charge cycling.
With the electric vehicle (EV) industry gaining momentum, the role of cobalt in EV batteries has come under intense scrutiny and spurred innovation. Cobalt, a critical component in many lithium-ion EV batteries, offers numerous advantages but also poses environmental, ethical, and cost-related challenges.
Lithium cobalt oxide (LiCoO 2, LCO) dominates in 3C (computer, communication, and consumer) electronics-based batteries with the merits of extraordinary volumetric and gravimetric energy density, high-voltage plateau, and facile synthesis.
l Lithium-Titanate (Li-Ti) Batteries: Li-Ti batteries, specifically lithium titanate, are another cobalt-free option. They are known for their fast charging capabilities, long cycle life, and good performance at low temperatures, albeit with slightly lower energy density compared to other lithium-ion batteries.
Although LiCoO 2 was the first material that enabled commercialization of the lithium-ion battery technology, the rapid increase in the electric vehicle market and the limited availability of cobalt are forcing the community to reduce cobalt or eliminate it altogether in layered oxide cathodes.
