Ternary cathode material for lithium ion batteries
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11996555B2) discloses a novel ternary cathode material for lithium-ion batteries. The material consists of a LiNi1-x-y-zCoxMnyMzO2 compound with a micron-sized single-crystalline particle structure. The composition includes specific ratios of nickel, cobalt, and manganese in both the central and surface layer portions of the particles. Additionally, the material may have a fast ion conductor material coating on its surface, enhancing its performance in battery applications.
The patent also details a method for preparing the ternary cathode material, involving precise formulation of nickel, cobalt, manganese, and M sources, followed by co-precipitation reactions, sintering, and pulverizing steps. The process includes specific conditions for each stage, such as stirring speed, temperature, and pH control. The resulting material exhibits a well-defined particle structure with controlled dimensions, making it suitable for use in lithium-ion batteries. Furthermore, the patent describes the incorporation of the ternary cathode material into a lithium-ion battery cell, highlighting its potential application in energy storage devices for various industries.
