An uncycled electrode for a non-aqueous lithium electrochemical cell including a lithium metal oxide having the formula Li(2+2x) / (2+x)M′2x / (2+x)M(2−2x) / (2+x)O2−δ, in which 0≦x<1 and δ is less than 0.2, and in which M is a non-lithium metal ion with an average trivalent oxidation state selected from two or more of the first row transition metals or lighter metal elements in the periodic table, and M′ is one or more ions with an average tetravalent oxidation state selected from the first and second row transition metal elements and Sn. Methods of preconditioning the electrodes are disclosed as are electrochemical cells and batteries containing the electrodes.

Specific core-shell binders and magnetic additives for use in ink-jet printing ink compositions are provided. One class of specific core / shell binders has the general formula [AmBnC'p]x, where A and B are hydrophobic components in which A exhibits a glass transition temperature Tg between about -150° and +25° C. and B exhibits a glass transition temperature greater than 25° C., C' is a component that forms hydrophilic or water-soluble component in the polymer chain, and has an ionic or non-ionic structure, m<30 wt %, n>40 wt %, and p<30 wt %, with the total of m+n+p=100 wt %, and x=1 to 100,000. The molecular weight (weight average) of the polymer is between about 1,000 and 2,000,000. The polymers useful in the practice of the invention are prepared by emulsifying the monomers and then conducting a free-radical polymerization in water. The foregoing binder polymer is used in conjunction with magnetic additives comprising either (a) inorganic magnetic compound containing at least one of iron, cobalt, and nickel or (b) organic magnetic complexes containing at least one of iron, cobalt, and nickel or (c) organic charge transfer complexes that exhibit magnetic properties. The ratio of binder (I) to colorant (pigment) is greater that 1 to 10. The concentration of the magnetice additive is within the range of 1 to 30 wt %. The general ink formulation comprises: 5 to 50 wt % water-miscible solvent; 0.5 to 10 wt % colorant; 1 to 30 wt % magnetice additive; and water.

Non-volatile resistance-switching oxide films, and devices therewith, are disclosed. One embodiment of a suitable device is composed of a SRO-CZO thin film having a thickness of from about 6 to about 30 nm, and composed of from about 3 to about 10 molar % of a SrRuO3 conducting oxide dopant and from about 90 to about 97 molar % of a CaZrO3 insulating oxide material.

The present invention provides a powdered lithium transition metal oxide useful as a major component for cathode active material of rechargeable lithium batteries, comprising a lithium transition metal oxide particle, a doped interface layer formed near the surface of the particle, and a thermodynamically and mechanically stable outer layer, and a method of preparing the same.

Because of the composition represented by General Formula: Li1+x+αNi(1−x−y+δ) / 2MyO2 (where 0≦x≦0.05, −0.05≦x+α≦0.05, 0≦y≦0.4; −0.1≦δ≦0.1 (when 0≦y≦0.2) or −0.24≦δ≦0.24 (when 0.2<y≦0.4); and M is at least one element selected from the group consisting of Ti, Cr, Fe, Co, Cu, Zn, Al, Ge and Sn), a high-density lithium-containing complex oxide with high stability of a layered crystal structure and excellent reversibility of charging / discharging can be provided, and a high-capacity non-aqueous secondary battery excellent in durability is realized by using such an oxide for a positive electrode.
