SECONDARY LITHIUM BATTERY INCLUDING A LITHIUM MOLYBDATE CATHODE

摘要

A secondary lithium battery is described which comprises a layered lithium molybdenum oxide cathode of the formula LixMo2O4 wherein x ranges from 0.3 to 2, an electrolyte and a lithium anode. These secondary rechargeable batteries evidence high discharge/charge voltages and retention of cell capacity during cycling which is superior to the prior art lithium molybdenum cathode systems.
