LITHIATED TRANSITION METAL OXIDES

摘要

Process for the fabrication of an electrode structure comprising an electrochemically active material suitable for use in an energy storage device. The method includes electrodepositing the electrochemically active material onto an electrode in electrodeposition bath containing a non-aqueous electrolyte. The electrode structure can be used for various applications such as electrochemical energy storage devices including high power and high-energy lithium-ion batteries.

1. A method of forming a lithiated transition metal oxide comprising the steps of:
immersing a working electrode into a non-aqueous electrolyte comprising a lithium source and a transition metal source, electrodepositing a lithiated transition metal oxide onto a surface of the working electrode from the electrolyte at a temperature in excess of the melting temperature of the non-aqueous electrolyte, removing the working electrode from the bath and rinsing the electrodeposited lithiated transition metal oxide.
