“…Consequently, both Raman bands of LCO weaken in intensity as the Li 0.75 CoO 2 phase grows. Although many reports evidence a drastic vanishing of the bands within the 0.95 > x > 0.75 region (Itoh et al, 2000;Kuwata et al, 2012), several studies present spectra in which the band intensities survive past 0.75 > x and display weakened, broader and red shifted bands (Figure 5A, middle) (Heber et al, 2015;Otoyama et al, 2016a;Snyder et al, 2016;Park et al, 2017). Peak asymmetries (Figure 5A, top) possibly reveal the presence of the second phase Li 0.75 CoO 2 with a larger c-lattice parameter (Inaba et al, 1997;Nishi et al, 2013).…”
