“…Long-lasting author's research on various Li x M a X b systems: Li x TiS 2 [5], Li x CoO 2 [6], LiNiO 2 [7] , Li x (Co,Ni,Mn)O 2 [8], Li x VO 2 [9], Li x NbSe 2 [10], Li x WO 3 [11], Li x YBa 2 Cu 3 O 7 [12], Li x Bi 2 Sr 2 CaCu 2 O 8 [13], Li x Mn 2 O 4 [14], Ligraphite [15], Li x FePO 4 [16] showed that lithium intercalation into transition metal compounds with metallic or semiconducting properties is a topotactic redox reaction, in which transition metal ion changes its oxidation number, thus electron structure plays significant role in this process. Electrons (together with equivalent number of lithium ions) introduced into cathode material locate at available electron levels and raise the Fermi level in a way, which depends on density of states function.…”
