Lithium cobalt oxides and methods of making same |
摘要 |
The present invention includes lithium cobalt oxides having hexagonal layered crystal structures and methods of making same. The lithium cobalt oxides of the invention have the formula Li<SUB>w</SUB>Co<SUB>1-x</SUB>A<SUB>x</SUB>O<SUB>2+y </SUB>wherein 0.96<=w<=1.05, 0<=x<=0.05, -0.02<=y<=0.02 and A is one or more dopants. The lithium cobalt oxides of the invention preferably have a position within the principal component space defined by the relationship ax<SUB>i</SUB>+by<SUB>i</SUB><=C, WHEREIN X<SUB>i</SUB>={right arrow over (S<SUB>i</SUB>.{right arrow over (P<SUB>c1</SUB>; y<SUB>i</SUB>={right arrow over (S<SUB>i</SUB>.{right arrow over (P<SUB>c2</SUB>; the vector {right arrow over (S<SUB>i </SUB>is the x-ray spectrum for the Li<SUB>w</SUB>Co<SUB>1-x</SUB>A<SUB>x</SUB>O<SUB>2+y </SUB>compound; the vectors {right arrow over (P<SUB>c1 </SUB>and {right arrow over (P<SUB>c2 </SUB>defining the principal component space are determined by measuring the x-ray powder diffraction values {right arrow over (S<SUB>i </SUB>between 15° and 120° using a 0.02° step size and CuKalpha rays for a large sample set of lithium cobalt oxides and using the regression of {right arrow over (S<SUB>i </SUB>of the sample set against the capacity fade after 50 cycles of a lithium coin cell that includes a lithium negative electrode and the lithium cobalt oxide as the positive electrode material and that is cycled between 3.0 and 4.3V at a constant current of C/3 during both charge and discharge cycles; and the values a, b and c are determined by using only the x<SUB>i </SUB>and y<SUB>i </SUB>values for Li<SUB>w</SUB>Co<SUB>1-x</SUB>A<SUB>x</SUB>O<SUB>2+y </SUB>compounds in the sample set that have a capacity fade after 50 cycles of less than or equal to 15%.
