There has recently been considerable interest in Al doping of lithium intercalation oxides. Al substitution of the transition-metal cation has been shown theoretically and experimentally to increase the cell voltage. First-principles methods are used to calculate the miscibility of eight aluminum-doped transition-metal oxides in the layered {alpha}-NaFeO{sub 2} structure. This study finds that for all Li(Al,M)O{sub 2} compounds investigated (M = Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu) the enthalpy of mixing is positive. In addition, detailed analyses were performed on LiAl{sub 1{minus}x}Co{sub x}O{sub 2} and LiAl{sub 1{minus}x}Cr{sub x}O{sub 2} by calculating full temperature-composition phase diagrams. For the Li(Al,Co)O{sub 2} system, the authors find regions of immiscibility below {minus}173 C and above 600 C. For both Li(Al,Co)O{sub 2} and Li(Al,Cr)O{sub 2} above 600 C, Al-doping is limited by the formation of {gamma}-LiAlO{sub 2}.
