Title: Lithium-excess cathode material and co-precipitation formation method

Abstract

A lithium-excess cathode material according to Li1+xNiaMnbCocModO2−y (0<0.3, 0≤a≤1, 0≤b≤1, 0≤c≤1, 0≤d≤0.2, 0≤y≤0.25) in the form of secondary spherical microparticles formed from primary spherical nanoparticles. The primary nanoparticles can in the range of ˜130 nm to 170 nm and the secondary in the range of ˜2-3 μm. A method of formation includes mixing a carbonates or hydroxides solution into a mixed solution of transition metal (M) ions with predetermined stoichiometry under stirring, and aging resulting transition metal carbonates or hydroxides at a predetermined temperature for period of time to produce primary nanoparticles of a predetermined size. A gas-solid interface reaction to uniformly creating oxygen vacancies without affecting structural integrity of Li-excess layered oxides is also provided.
