LM2010 Lithium-Cobalt(III) Oxide Powder (LCO Powder) (CAS No. 12190-79-3)

Lithium-Cobalt(III) Oxide Powder Description

Lithium-Cobalt-Oxide, also known as Lithium Cobaltat, has the chemical formula LiCoO2 and is an inorganic compound. It is used primarily in the production of lithium-ion batteries for mobile telephones, laptops and other portable electronic devices as a cathode material.

Benefits of use:

- Reduces battery polarisation, lowers thermal effects and improves charging performance;
- Reduces internal battery resistance and significantly limits the dynamic increase in resistance during cycling;
- Enhances consistency and extends battery lifespan;
- Improves the bond between the active material and the current collector, thereby reducing the production cost of the electrode assembly;
- Provides protection to the current collector against electrolyte-induced corrosion;
- Improves the processing characteristics of lithium-iron phosphate and lithium-titanate materials.
