MANGANESE AND LITHIUM-CONTAINING MOLECULAR PRECURSORS FOR BATTERY CATHODE MATERIALS

摘要

Lithium-manganese-containing molecular precursor compounds, compositions and processes for making cathodes for lithium ion batteries. The molecular precursor compounds are soluble and provide processes to make cathode materials with controlled stoichiometry in a solution-based processes. The cathode material can be, for example, a lithium manganese oxide, a lithium manganese phosphate, or a lithium manganese silicate. Cathodes can be made as bulk material in a solid form or in solution, or in various forms including thin films.
