LixCoO2 and LixNiO2 (0.5 < x < 1) are used as prototype cathode materials in lithium ion batteries. Both systems show degradation and fatigue when used as cathode material during electrochemical cycling. In order to analyze the change of the structure and the electronic structure of LixCoO2 and LixNiO2 as a function of Li content x in detail, we have performed X-ray diffraction studies, photoelectron spectroscopy (PES) investigations and band structure calculations for a series of compounds Lix(Co,Ni)O2 (0 < xless-than-or-eq 1). The calculated density of states (DOS) are weighted by theoretical photoionization cross sections and compared with the DOS gained from the PES experiments. Consistently, the experimental and calculated DOS show a broadening of the Co/Ni 3d states upon lithium de-intercalation. The change of the shape of the experimental PES curves with decreasing lithium concentration can be interpreted from the calculated partial DOS as an increasing energetic overlap of the Co/Ni 3d and O 2p states and a change in the orbital overlap of Co/Ni and O wave functions.
