Background
With the increasing demand for lithium-ion batteries, various compounds have been investigated as cathode materials. Typical examples include lithium cobaltite and lithium manganate, and the amount of oxygen deficiency is important as one of the items to evaluate the material properties. This is because deficient oxygen has an important influence on battery performance.
Challenges
A very high quantitative system is required to see oxygen deficiency in actual samples. Also, since the sample is a powder, the effect of atmospheric oxygen can cause a large measurement error. But there are a few instruments in the market that can do quantitative analysis as oxygen atoms with high accuracy.
