  • Patent number: 7078127
    Abstract: A method for producing a positive electrode material adapted to the Li-ion secondary batteries is disclosed. The produced material has the following formula (I), Li1+xMn2?yMyO4 ??(I) wherein M is Mg, Al, Cr, Fe, Co, or Ni; 0?x?0.4, and 0?y?0.2. The method is achieved by co-precipitating a gel salts with an organic acid. First, salts of Li, Mn and M are mixed with at least a solvent to form an initial solution. The mole ratio of Li, Mn and M ions in their respective salts is (1+x):(2?y):y. Next, at least a chelate is added into the initial solution to form a suspension, which is then filtered to obtain a co-precipitate. Finally, the co-precipitate is calcined and heated to obtain the final product.

  • Publication number: 20030235758
    Abstract: A positive electrode material of a Li-ion secondary battery is disclosed. This positive electrode material has a formula of Li1+xMn2−yMyO4−zClz, wherein M can be magnesium (Mg), aluminum (Al), chromium (Cr), iron (Fe), cobalt (Co) or nickel (Ni) ions, 0≦x≦0.4, 0≦y≦0.3, and 0.01≦z≦1.0. By means of replacing some oxygen ions of this material with chlorine ions, the crystalline structure thereof can be varied and thus longer life cycle and better stability at high temperature can be achieved.
