摘要:	It is notoriously difficult to distinguish the stoichiometric LiCoO2 (LCO) with a O3-I structure from its lithium defective O3-II phase because of their similar crystal symmetry. Interestingly, moreover, the O3-II phase shows metallic conductivity, whereas the O3-I phase is an electronic insulator. How to effectively reveal the intrinsic mechanism of the conductivity difference and nonequilibrium phase transition induced by the lithium deintercalation is of vital importance for its practical application and development. Based on the developed technology of in situ peak force tunneling atomic force microscopy (PF-TUNA) in liquids, the phase transition from O3-I to O3-II and consequent insulator-to-metal transition of LCO thin-film electrodes with preferred (003) orientation nanorods designed and prepared via magnetron sputtering were observed under an organic electrolyte for the first time in this work. Then, studying the post-mortem LCO thin-film electrode by using ex situ time-dependent XRD and conductive atomic force microscopy, we find the phase relaxation of LCO electrodes after the nonequilibrium deintercalation, further proving the differences of the electronic conductivity and work function between the O3-I and O3-II phases. Moreover, X-ray absorption spectroscopy results indicate that the oxidation of Co ions and the increasing of O 2p–Co 3d hybridization in the O3-II phase lead to electrical conductivity improvement in Li1–xCoO2. Simultaneously, it is found that the nonequilibrium deintercalation at a high charging rate can result in phase-transition hysteresis and the O3-I/O3-II coexistence at the charging end, which is explained well by an ionic blockade model with an antiphase boundary. At last, this work strongly suggests that PF-TUNA can be used to reveal the unconventional phenomena on the solid/liquid interfaces.
