Abstract: A doped cathode material for lithium-ion batteries is disclosed. Methods and systems are further provided for doping a cathode material for use in a lithium-ion battery. In one example, the doping may be a dry surface doping process. In some examples, dopants may stabilize a crystal structure of the cathode material and may result in fewer side reactions with an electrolyte as compared to an undoped cathode material. As such, cycling performance and capacity retention may be improved relative to the undoped cathode material. Further, in some examples, the doped cathode material produced with the dry surface doping process may have improved cycling performance and capacity retention relative to a comparable doped cathode material produced with a wet surface doping process.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for salt-rinse surface doping of electrode materials for lithium-ion batteries. In one example, a method may include dissolving a dopant salt in a solvent to form a dopant salt rinse solution, rinsing an electrode active material with the dopant salt rinse solution to form a coated electrode active material, and heating the coated electrode active material to form a doped electrode active material. In some examples, a surface region of the doped electrode active material may include a uniform distribution of dopants from the dopant salt rinse solution. In this way, the electrode active material may be rinsed and doped via the dopant salt rinse solution in a single-stage process.
