J. Kawakita et al., STRUCTURAL-PROPERTIES OF LI1-TEMPERATURE(3V3O8 UPON LITHIUM INSERTIONAT AMBIENT AND HIGH), Solid state ionics, 107(1-2), 1998, pp. 145-152
Lithium insertion behaviour of lithium vanadate, Li1.2V3O8, was invest
igated using both chemical and electrochemical methods at ambient and
high temperature of 100 degrees C. Additional Li+ ions up to Li4V3O8 w
ere accommodated under 2.5 V at 100 degrees C. Each of the cell parame
ters changed linearly in the single-phase region of x < 2.0 in Li1+xV3
O8. A constant value was observed in the two-phase region of 2.0 < x <
3.0. Further lithium insertion beyond x > 3.2 lead to an increase in
cell volume of the host structure.
