The magnetic susceptibility χ of cathode materials, which contain transition metals, substantially changes during charging/discharging and, therefore, serves as highly sensitive fingerprint for the charge state. A novel pathway in this direction has recently opened up by developing in-situ electrochemical techniques for magnetometry. Operando magnetic χ-measurements on LixCoO2 [1] and LixNi1/3Mn1/3Co1/3O2 (NMC) cathode materials [2] in a SQUID magnetometer during repetitive electrochemical cycling were performed enabling a continuous and bulk sensitive monitoring of the charge compensation process. Upon charging of NMC up to Li contents of x = 1/3 exclusively Ni undergoes oxidation, namely in two consecutive steps Ni2+→Ni3+ for x>2/3 and Ni3+→Ni4+ for 2/3>x>1/3 [2]. Co oxidation for x<1/3 is found to be irreversible [2]. In the case of LixCoO2, evidence is found for a nonmetal−metal transition of Anderson−type [1]. In addition to Co also O undergoes partial oxidation, as also observed for NMC.
