Electrochemical insertion/extraction sf Li on cathode materials of anatase type TiO2, quasi-layered structure V2O5 and layered structure MoO3 was measured on samples of which structures were well characterized and showed a wide range of crystallinity. On the basis of experimental results on structure, morphology and charge-discharge characteristics, the effect of crystallinity of the cathode materials on electrochemical Li insertion/extraction performance was discussed. These three transition metal oxides were classified as one group on the basis of whether the crystallinity of these oxides affects to the performance or not, LiMn2O4 and LiCo0.5Ni0.5O2 belongs to the former group and TiO2, V2O5 and MoO3 to the latter.
