Activation Energy for Hole Motion in LixNiyCo1—xyO

Abstract
The electrical resistivity of LixNiyCo1—xyO shows an anomalous increase at y=0.84, the composition at which the amount of Li is equal to the amount of Co. This increase, predominantly caused by a corresponding increase in activation energy, is interpreted as evidence that the electrical conduction mechanism may be represented as a thermally activated diffusion of positive holes having a mean free path or jump distance of one lattice distance.
