Abstract: Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy was utilized in operando to analyze redox mechanisms in lithium cobalt oxide (LCO) cathode material during battery cycling. In the pristine battery, a considerable amount of paramagnetic Co2+ was detected that was formed during initial contact of the electrolyte with the LCO. The Co2+ got oxidized during the formation cycle. The absence of an EPR signal during subsequent battery cycles, irrespective of the state-of-charge, indicates that no EPR active Co4+ is formed. This suggests the presence of an anionic oxygen redox mechanism in the active material.
