  • Patent number: 11811061
    Abstract: A powderous positive electrode material for a lithium secondary battery has the general formula Li1+x[Ni1?a?b?cMaM?bM?c]1?xO2?z. M is one or more elements of the group Mn, Zr and Ti. M? is one or more elements of the group Al, B and Co. M? is a dopant different from M and M?, and x, a, b and c are expressed in mol with ?0.02?x?0.02, 0?c?0.05, 0.10?(a+b)?0.65 and 0?z?0.05. The material has an unconstrained cumulative volume particle size distribution value (?0(D10P=0)), a cumulative volume particle size distribution value after having been pressed at a pressure of 200 MPa (?P(D10P=200)) and a cumulative volume particle size distribution value after having been pressed at a pressure of 300 MPa (?P(D10P=300)). When ?P(D10P=200) is compared to ?0(D10P=0), the relative increase in value is less than 100%. When ?P(D10P=300) is compared to ?0(D10P=0), the relative increase in value is less than 120%.
