Preparation of Nanoparticles of LiCoO2 Using Laser Ablation in Liquids
In order to prepare nanoparticles of LiCoO 2 , laser ablation of LiCoO 2 in liquids (water, methanol, and cyclohexane) was carried out at 355 nm. Spherical particles of 10-200 nm in diameters were prepared, while Co 3 O 4 were also produced due to liberation of Li. It was found that liberation of Li decreased in methanol and cyclohexane as compared to that in water.
