High valent lithiated surface structures for lithium ion battery electrode materials
Abstract
The surface of a lithium ion cathode material (e.g., a lithium metal oxide material capable of releasing and accepting lithium ions during charging and discharging, respectively, of a lithium ion electrochemical cell) is coated with a lithium metal oxide (LMO) material comprising a high-valent metal to, inter alia, reduce interfacial resistance toward lithium exchange. Li-rich phases on the surface of the treated LMO particles allow for better lithium ion diffusion. The inclusion of elements that form phases with lithium and can substitute in the host structure allow for mixing across interfaces leading to more robust structures that better mimic epitaxial-type layers. Inclusion of doping elements in place of some of the high-valent metal in the surface-treating composition provides unexpectedly improved performance over surface treatments comprising lithium metal oxides that only include a high-valent metal.
