摘要
Rietveld refinement of LixCoO2-type cathodes (where x=0.59-1.00) has been demonstrated to yield quantitative information about the Li occupancy with an error of about similar to 10%. With careful X-ray diffraction (XRD) data collection, refinement, and proper calibration, accurate values can be obtained. Rietveld refinement tends to under-predict the Li occupancy values in charged (de-lithiated) cathodes as compared to ICP measurements. A Li-gradient model that assumes a decreasing concentration of Li from the particle core to its surface is discussed to explain this observation. The observed lattice parameters for the fully lithiated LiCoO2 standard phase (R-3m symmetry) were a= 2.8155(1) Angstrom, c= 14.052(1) Angstrom. The error convention used in this paper is 3sigma of standard deviations obtained from Rietveld refinement output. (C) 2003 International Centre for Diffraction Data.
