摘要:
The present invention is a positive electrode active material that can be used in secondary lithium and lithium-ion batteries to provide the power capability, i.e., the ability to deliver or retake energy in short periods of time, desired for large power applications such as power tools, electric bikes and hybrid electric vehicles. The positive electrode active material of the invention includes at least one electron conducting compound of the formula LiM1x−y{A}yOz and at least one electron insulating and lithium ion conducting lithium metal oxide, wherein M1 is a transition metal, {A} is represented by the formula ΣwiBi wherein Bi is an element other than M1 used to replace the transition metal M1 and wi is the fractional amount of element Bi in the total dopant combination such that Σwi=1; Bi is a cation in LiM1x−y{A}yOz; 0.95≦x≦2.10; 0≦y≦x/2; and 1.90≦z≦4.20. Preferably, the lithium metal oxide is LiAlO2 or Li2M2O3 wherein M2 is at least one tetravalent metal selected from the group consisting of Ti, Zr, Sn, Mn, Mo, Si, Ge, Hf, Ru and Te. The present invention also includes methods of making this positive electrode active material.
