Electrochemical performance of H+ implantation intercalate with LiCo3O4 thin film and its applications

[Display omitted] •The study discovered that cubic face centered LiCo3O4 had strong diffraction peaks.•Which could result in a Co2+/Co3+ super-exchange or double-exchange mechanism.•The direct intercept on the h-axis gives the direct allowable bandgap value of 3.28 eV.•Series resistance varies from 3.8 to 8.9 k as the fluence varies from 0 to 1015 ions/cm2.•Identical phase of cobalt metal from the LiCo3O4 cell is totally oxidized around 1.5 and 4 V. The purpose of this research is to explore into the impacts of H+ ion implantation on Al/ LiCo3O4/ITO (MIS) thin films employing the sprayed pyrolysis method. The discharged and recharged specimens were characterized using XRD, EDAX, and SEM techniques. Using LiCo3O4 CV curves in KOH solution at various scan speeds, the electrochemical behavior was investigated. Li+ and H+ ions from a KOH solution underwent a reversible insertion into the diffusion coefficient values of LiCo3O4 particles. Increased protonic conductivity and a higher diffusion coefficient value of 3.55x10−8 cm2/S with a scan rate of 100 mV/S are the results of the intercalation of lithium with the cobalt oxide LiCo3O4 and this implantation affects the possible causes of the observed changes in the properties of lithium cobalt oxides. The spray pyrolysis method's process parameters have a major impact on the H+ implantation film's characteristics. As a result, they have been enhanced to produce high-quality LiCo3O4 films with excellent electrical conductivity and transparency.
