Powerful Oxidizing Agents for the Oxidative Deintercalation of Lithium from Transition Metal Oxides

Abstract

NO2(+) and Molybdenum Hexafluoride are shown to be powerful oxidizing agents for the deintercalation of lithium from Lithium Cobaltous Oxide and Lithium Copper Oxide. The oxidations, which usually were accompanied by some side reaction, yielded materials of composition LixMO2 with x approx. 0 for M=Co and x approx. 1.5 for M=Cu. Both starting materials are insulating (p > 1,000 Ohms/cm), but the deintercalated products are much more conducting (by at least four orders of magnitude). Keywords: Nitrogen dioxide, Reprints.
