Structural, electrical and electrochemical properties of LiNiO2

This paper presents structural and electrical properties of LiNiO2 cathode material. The influence of cation mixing on the structural and electrical properties were determined. It has been found that deintercalation of lithium ions from the LiNiO2 lattice influences the properties of the compound towards metallic ones. A model of electronic structure of LiNiO2 has been proposed.
