LiCoO2 is synthesized by microwave heating. It has high capacity and g
ood cycleability. The advantages of microwave synthesis are: (i) the c
alcination process is very fast; (ii) the synthesized powders have sma
ll and uniform grains; (iv) the synthesis temperature can be lower, an
d (iv) the lithium oxide loss is smaller. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science S.
