    Abstract: A positive electrode material for an electrochemical cell that cycles lithium ions includes a high-valent doped layered lithium- and manganese-rich nickel oxide (HVD-LMR). The high-valent dopant is a transition metal element having five or more valence electrons. The HVD-LMR positive electrode material may be manufactured by a sol-gel method, wherein a precursor solution is prepared comprising a lithium salt, a manganese salt, a nickel salt, a compound comprising the high-valent dopant, and a chelating agent. The pH of the precursor solution is controlled or adjusted to form a gel comprising a liquid phase and a solid precipitate phase, and then the liquid phase from the solid precipitate phase to form a dried gel. The dried gel is heated in an oxygen-containing environment to form the HVD-LMR positive electrode material.
