Transition Metal Compounds as Cathodic Materials in Rechargeable Lithium Cells.
Abstract
A comparison was made between rechargeable lithium batteries, based on lithium intercalation or lithium interstitial compounds of transition metal chalcogenides or oxides, and nickel-cadmium batteries. Several chalcogenides and oxidies show promise as cathodic materials. Preliminary experimental work was done with lithium-molybdenum trioxide cells. The polarization characteristics of the molybdenum trioxide cathode were studied and some insight in the reaction mechanism was gained. In charge discharge experiments, the capacity loss after deep cycling was explored; the energy efficiency and the energy content of the system were determined. (Author)
