Abstract: Disclosed herein is a process for the manufacture of a coated cathode active material including the steps of: (a) providing a particulate electrode active material according to general formula Li1+xTM1-xO2, (b) treating the particulate electrode active material with an aqueous medium that contains a compound of Al or Sb, (c) removing the water from step (b) at least partially, (d) optionally, treating the mixture from step (c) thermally, (e) adding at least one compound selected from compounds of Al or Sb or B, or at least one heteropoly acid or its respective ammonium or lithium salt or salt of Al, Ga, In, or Ba to the solid material obtained from step (d), if applicable, or from (c), respectively, and (f) treating the residue obtained from step (e) thermally.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a process for the manufacture of coated cathode active materials including the steps of: (a) providing a particulate electrode active material based on a lithiated oxide according to general formula Li1+xTM1−xO2 and x is in the range of from zero to 0.2, (b) treating said particulate electrode active material with water, and subsequently removing the majority of the water by a solid-liquid separation method, thereby obtaining a solid residue, (c) treating the solid residue material from step (b) with a source of boron and with at least one compound of Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba, and Zn selected from the respective sulfates, oxides, and hydroxides, thereby obtaining an intermediate, and (d) treating the intermediate obtained from step (c) thermally.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a process for making an electrode active material, where said process includes the following steps:



(a) Providing a hydroxide TM(OH)2 or an oxyhydroxide of TM, where TM is one or more metals and contains Mn, optionally, Co, and from 85 to 95 mol % Ni, referring to the sum of Ni, Co and Mn;
(b) Drying said hydroxide TM(OH)2 or oxyhydroxide of TM at a temperature in the range of from 400 to 600° C., thereby obtaining an oxide or oxyhydroxide of TM with a residual moisture content of from 200 to 500 ppm;
(c) Mixing said oxide or oxyhydroxide from step (b) with a source of lithium, at least one compound of Mg or Al, and at least one compound of Ti or Zr; and
(d) Treating the mixture obtained from step (c) thermally at a temperature in the range of 550 to 875° C.

Abstract: Described herein is a process for the manufacture of a fluoride doped cathode active material, where said process includes the steps of



(a) providing a particulate oxide or (oxy)hydroxide of transition metals (TM), where TM includes nickel and at least one metal selected from cobalt and manganese, and where said particulate oxide or (oxy)hydroxide has an average particle diameter (D50) in a range of from 3 to 16 μm,
(b) providing a source of lithium that includes 0.01 to 2.5% by weight of fluoride uniformly dispersed within said source of lithium,
(c) mixing said oxide or (oxy)hydroxide of TM with said fluoride-including source of lithium and, optionally, with an additional source of lithium including less fluoride, and, optionally, with one or more dopants based on at least one metal other than lithium, and
(d) treating the mixture obtained from step (c) thermally.
