Patent ID: 10910646

Abstract:
A positive electrode for a rechargeable battery, comprising a lithium metal oxide powder having a layered crystal structure and having the formula LixTmyHmzO6, with 3≤x≤4.8, 0.60≤y≤2.0, 0.60≤z≤2.0, and x+y+z=6, wherein Tm is one or more transition metals of the group consisting of Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, and Cr; wherein Hm is one or more metals of the group consisting of Zr, Nb, Mo and W. The lithium metal oxide powder may comprise dopants and have the formula LixTmyHmzM″mO6— δAδ, wherein A is either one or more elements of the group consisting of F, S or N; and M″ is either one or more metal of the group consisting of Ca, Sr, Y, La, Ce and Zr, with either δ>0 or m>0, δ≤0.05, m≤0.05 and x+y+z+m=6.
