Calculate the specific capacity for the cathode material, LiNiO2. If the midpoint voltage for the complete cell is determined only by the electrode potentials for the Li(I)/Li and Ni(IV)/Ni(III) couples, what will be the maximum specific energy for this material. In practice LiNiO2 is not a suitable material for a cathode in a lithium ion battery. Explain the reason for this. Electrode potential Li(I)/Li = 3.04 V Electrode potential Ni(IV)/Ni(III) = 0.82 V
