Deliquescent-LiVO3 was used as an electrolyte binder for LiCoO2 based cathode.
LiVO3 and LiCoO2 composite electrode was easily prepared by coating the mixed slurry of LiCoO2 powder and LiVO3 aqueous solution on an Al foil and drying it at 150 °C.
LiVO3–LiCoO2 composite electrode showed the discharge capacity of 79% for the theoretical capacity.
The LiVO3 in the composite electrode operated as Li ion conductive paths in the range between 3.0 and 4.25 V.
Recovery of discharge capacity was found by dissolving the LiVO3 in the composite electrode after cycle test.
