ChemInform Abstract: Room Temperature Synthesis and Structural Characterization of Monoclinic LiCuO2 by X-Ray and Neutron Diffraction

LiCuO2 was synthesized at room temperature by delithiation of Li2CuO2 using bromine in acetonitrile. The product shows broad diffraction lines which were analysed by the Rietveld refinement technique on X-ray and neutron powder data. The phase conforms to the NaCuO2 structure type
