“…However, our optimized value of c is similar to other isostructural layered oxides such as Sr x RhO 2 [27,28], Na x CoO 2 [7], Li x NbO 2 [29], and La x CoO 2 [30]. In addition, LiRhO 2 , NaRhO 2 , and KRhO 2 layered oxides can form a hydrate (water intercalated) phase [19] with an increased c length [31]. Takada et al [4] showed that Na x CoO 2 can be readily hydrated to form Na x CoO 2 yH 2 O, maintaining the CoO 2 layers, but with a considerably expanded c axis, to accomodate the intercalated water.…”
