Abstract: A compound of formula Li1+x(NiaMnbCocAly)1?xO2 wherein: a, b and c are non-zero; a+b+c+y=1; 1.05?(1+x)/(1?x)?1.25; 0.015?y(1?x); and the atomic amount of manganese representing from 95% to 100% of the atomic amount of nickel.

Abstract: A subject of the invention is a mixture of solvents for the electrolyte of a lithium battery, which mixture of solvents comprises with respect to the volume of said mixture, 50 to 95% by volume of a linear ester of a C2 to C8 saturated acid, and 5 to 50% by volume of a C3 to C6 saturated cyclic carbonate and a C3 to C6 saturated linear carbonate, only one of the two carbonates being substituted by at least one halogen atom. The invention is also aimed at a lithium battery comprising a liquid electrolyte having this composition. The battery according to the invention is able to operate at temperatures which can range up to approximately ?60° C. A subject of the invention is also the use of a battery according to the invention at temperatures which can range up to ?60° C.

Abstract: A rechargeable lithium storage cell includes a positive electrode, whose electrochemically active material includes one or more oxides of a transition metal, and a negative electrode, consisting of a conductive support and an active layer containing a binder and an electrochemically active material. The binder is a polymer containing no fluorine. The electrochemically active material is a mixed oxide of lithium and titanium with the general formula LixTiyO4 in which 0.8≦x≦1.4 and 1.6≦y≦2.2. The non-fluorinated polymer is preferably soluble in water or capable of forming a stable emulsion in suspension in water. The binder preferably contains an elastomer, especially an acrylonitrile/butadiene copolymer and/or a cellulose compound such as carboxymethylcellulose.
