Chris Nelson and Michael A. O'Keefem (July 2003). "Atomic resolution of lithium ions in LiCoO2". Nature Materials 2 (7): 464 - 467. DOI:10.1038/nmat922. Image generated in Accelrys DS Visualizer.
context_page_description: Lithium cobalt oxide, sometimes called lithium cobaltate or lithium cobaltite, is a chemical compound with formula LiCoO
  ₂. The cobalt atoms are formally in the +3 oxidation state, hence the IUPAC name lithium cobalt(III) oxide.
  Lithium cobalt oxide is a dark blue or bluish-gray crystalline solid, and is commonly used in the positive electrodes of lithium-ion batteries.
