A New Lithium Cathode LiCoMnO[sub 4]: Toward Practical 5 V Lithium Batteries

Lithium batteries can operate over by the incorporation of a potentially large family of new lithium cathode materials based on spinel‐structure oxides in the system , one of which, , exhibits a discharge capacity of at a long plateau centered on in a cell, , propylene carbonate/, and therefore has superior energy density to , the favored cathode in next‐generation lithium batteries. ©1998 The Electrochemical Society
