Patent ID: 8492030

Claim:
A method for producing a lithium molybdenum composite transition metal oxide comprising the steps of at least one of: mixing a transition metal precursor selected from the group of a Ni precursor, a Co precursor and a Mn precursor which comprises (Ni α′ Co β′ Mn γ M κ ) CO 3 , and wherein M includes at least one of Mg, Zn, Al, Ga, B, Zr, Si, Ti, Nb, and α′, β′, and γ′ includes a range from about 0 to 1; and κ ranges from between about zero and 0.15, a molybdenum source, a lithium source and a sintering agent; and thermally treating the mixture to obtain a lithium molybdenum composite transition metal oxide and; mixing a lithium transition metal oxide, a molybdenum source, and a sintering agent; and thermally treating the mixture to obtain a lithium molybdenum composite transition metal oxide.
