Chemical Synthesis and Properties of Layered Co1-yNiyO2-δOxides (0≤y≤1)
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 18 March 2011
Abstract
Layered Co1-yNiyO2-δ oxides with 0≤y≤1 have been synthesized by chemically extracting lithium from LiNi1-yCoyO2 with NO2PF6 at ambient temperature. The samples have been characterized by X-ray diffraction, wet-chemical analyses, infrared spectroscopy, and magnetic susceptibility measurements. While NiO2-δ retains the initial O3 (CdCl2 structure) layer structure of LiNiO2, CoO2-δ consists of a mixture of P3 and O1 (CdI2 structure) phases that are formed by a sliding of the oxide ions in the initial O3 structure. CoO2-δ and NiO2-δ have oxygen contents of, respectively, 1.67 and 1.95 and the oxygen content increases with increasing Ni content, y, in Co1-yNiyO2-δ. While CoO2-δ exhibits metallic conductivity as revealed by theabsence of absorption bands in the infrared spectrum, NiO2-δ exhibits semiconducting behavior due to a completely filled t2g band. Magnetic data reveal a transition from antiferromagnetic to ferromagnetic correlations as the Ni content in Co1-yNiyO2-δ increases.
