Abstract
The current lithium-ion battery which is used in most technological applications is the LiCoO2
(LCO) battery. This battery offers a high theoretical capacity of 274 mAh.g-1. Scientists have
however deemed this battery material as hazardous due to the toxicity of Cobalt and its
explosive nature at high temperatures. LiMn2O4 (LMO) is considered to be substantially less
toxic, cheaper than the LCO, and is also readily available in South Africa.
