Definitions
- the present invention relates to composite metal oxide positive electrode materials for secondary lithium and lithium-ion batteries.
- Lithium-manganese spinels are presently considered useful positive electrode materials for 4 V secondary lithium and lithium- ion batteries.
- the stoichiometric spinel LiMn 2 0 4 exhibits poor cycling performance in comparison to other positive electrode materials used for 4 V batteries. Therefore, there have been numerous methods proposed in the art for increasing the cycling performance of LiMn 2 0 4 .
- LiMn 2 0 4 spinel a portion of the manganese in the LiMn 2 0 4 spinel can be replaced with excess lithium as proposed in R-.J. Gummow et al . , Solid State Ionics, 69 (1994), p. 59; and U.S. Patent No. 5,425,932 to Tarascon. Nevertheless, the stabilization of the LiMn 2 0 4 structure by doping the spinel with excess lithium to form Li 1+x Mn 2 _ x 0 4 is accompanied by a significant decrease in its specific capacity.
- the doping ion replaces a 3 + manganese ion, but cannot itself be transferred to 4 + during the charge process (e.g. Ni 2+ , Co 3+ , Cr 3+ and Al 3+ ) , or it replaces a lithium ion in its tetrahedral site reducing the number of lithium ions which can be reversibly intercalated in the 4 V range (e.g. Fe 3+ , Ga 3+ , Ti 4+ and V 5+ .) .
- the present invention provides a positive electrode material for secondary lithium and lithium- ion cells which comprises a multiple-doped lithium manganese metal oxide having a spinel structure and described by the general formula:
- 1 , 2 , ...M k are at least two cations different than lithium or manganese, selected from the group consisting of alkaline earth metals, transition metals,
- X, Y, m x , m 2 , ....m k are molar parts with numbers between 0 and 0.2; m 1# m 2 and Y are greater than 0; Z is a number between -0.1 and 0.2; and wherein the metals M 1 , M 2 , ...M k and the corresponding molar parts m 1# m 2 , ...m k satisfy the following equation and inequality:
- V 1 ( V 2 , . . . . V k are the corresponding valence states of the cations M 1 , M 2 , . . . M k . More preferably, the cations M 1 , M 2 , ...M k and the corresponding molar parts m 1# m 2 , ....m k satisfy the following two equations:
- the codopants in the multiple- doped lithium manganese oxide spinel compounds of the invention preferably do not cause significant contraction or expansion of the spinel structure.
- the unit cell parameter (a) of the multiple-doped lithium manganese metal oxide of the invention is preferably within about ⁇ 0.0015 A/mol%, more preferably ⁇ 0.0005 A/mol%, of the unit cell parameter (a) of the corresponding unsubstituted Li 1+x Mn 2 _ x 0 4+z spinel.
- the spinel compound is codoped with equivalent amounts of Co 3+ and Ti 4+ to form a spinel material having a composition described by the formula:
- Figure 1 is a graph showing the discharge specific capacity versus cycle number for a secondary lithium cell with a positive electrode material prepared in accordance with the present invention, and for secondary lithium cells having alternative positive electrode materials, wherein the excess lithium is the same for all examples.
