Lithium ion batteries have revolutionized the portable electronics market now-a-days. Rechargeable lithium batteries based on layered cathode phases viz., LiCoO$_{2}$ have received a great deal of attention in recent years. We report the preparation of LiCoO$_{2}$ fine particles synthesized by simple soft chemistry routes such as combustion technique and solvothermal precipitation process in this research article. The prepared LiCoO$_{2}$ particles were characterized by XRD, SEM and Particle size analysis. The powder XRD data obtained on LiCoO$_{2}$ powder was in good agreement with the standard reported XRD data. The presence of larger particles in the powder may be due to the agglomeration of particles at high temperature treatment.
