Abstract: 

At present LiCoO2 is commercially available material for positive electrodes of lithium-ion batteries. For further improvement of its properties a number of doped samples of lithium cobaltite were synthesized. Mg and Ti were used as dopants. Crystal structure of LiCo1 – x – yMgxTiyO2 was studied with XRD, whereas chemical composition was determined with atomic absorption spectroscopy, complexometric titration as well as inductively-bonded plasma. The average initial discharge capacity amounted to 145 to 150 mA·h/g. Degradation of non-doped samples was 1.5 mA·h/g per cycle. Doping results in decrease of degradation rate, doping effect manifests itself at net dopant content more than 0.02. The degradation rate happens to be least at x+y = 0.05. In this case degradation rate is less than 0.6 mA·h/g per cycle, which is 2.5 times less than that for non-doped lithium cobaltite.
