Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The present invention relates to a method for efficiently and uniformly coating lithium metal oxide cathode materials to enhance the performance of lithium-ion batteries. More specifically, the present invention relates to a method of coating lithium manganese oxide spinel with a second lithium-containing metal oxide phase using dry blending and secondary firing to prepare Methods and specific procedures for materials with longer cycle life. Background technique
[0002] Lithium-ion batteries have become very attractive for portable electronic devices such as cell phones and laptops because they offer higher energy density than other charging systems. Current commercial Li-ion batteries have lithiated carbon anodes or anodes Li x C 6 , and lithium cobalt oxide cathode or cathode LiCoO 2 . During battery charge and discharge, lithium ions are passed back and forth between the anode and cathode and become embedded in the host structure. The most co...
