The invention relates to a LiaNixCoyMz O2±e Af composite oxide for use as a cathode material in a rechargeable battery, with a non-homogenous Ni/Al ratio in the particles, allowing excellent power and safety properties when used as positive electrode material in Li battery. More particularly, in the formula 0.9<a<1.1, 0.3=x=0.9, 0<y=0.4, 0<z=0.35, e=0, 0=f=0.05 and 0.9 < (x+y+z+f) < 1.1; M consists of either one or more elements from the group Al, Mg and Ti; A consists of either one or more elements from the group S and C. The powder has a particle size distribution defining a D10, D50 and D90; and said x and z parameters varying with the particles size of said powder, and is characterized in that either one or both of: x1 - x2 = 0.010 and z2 - z1 = 0.010; x1 and z1 being the parameters corresponding to particles having a particle size D90; and x2 and z2 being the parameters corresponding to particles having a particle size D10. |
