Title: Low cobalt layered oxide materials for lithium ion battery electrodes

Patent ·
OSTI ID:2293800

Stabilized layered lithium metal oxide cathode materials are described which include excess lithium, Ni, Mn, and at least one other metal ion. The materials comprise a layered LiMO2-type material in which M comprises a combination of Ni, Mn, and at least one other metal ion that includes less than about 6 mol % Co; and which has about 1 to 6 percent excess lithium. In one embodiment, the stabilized lithium metal oxide cathode material comprises a composition having the empirical formula xLi2MnO3·(1−x)LiNi0.5+δ/2Mn0.5−δCoδ/2O2, wherein 01+3y[NiaMnbM′c]1−yO2, wherein M′ is one of more metal selected from the group consisting of Co, Al, Fe, Mg, and Ti; 0
