Abstract

LiSbO(3) has been synthesized by chemical mixing followed by thermal treatment at 800 degrees C. Field emission scanning electron microscopy revealed bar shaped Multifaceted grains, 0.5-4 mu m long and 0.5-1 mu m wide, that cluster together as soft agglomeration. 2032 type coin cell vs Li/Li(+) shows a flat charge-discharge plateau together with low Li intercalation/de-intercalation potential (0.2/0.5 V). A high discharge capacity of 580 mA h g(-1) has been obtained in the 1st cycle with 100% Coulombic efficiency. About 96% of the Coulombic efficiency is retained up to the 12th cycle, but at the 1501 cycle, the Coulombic efficiency drops down to 88%. AC impedance spectroscopy shows an increase in electrolyte resistance (R(s)) from 4.43 Ohm after the initial cycle to 12.4 Ohm after the 15th cycle indicating a probable dissolution of Sb into the electrolyte causing the capacity fading observed.
