A battery module is disclosed. The battery module comprises a housing, a heat-conducting fin disposed within the housing having a first fin surface and a second fin surface, the first fin surface and the second fin surface defining a respective first housing cavity and a second housing cavity within the housing. The battery module further comprises a first battery cell disposed within the first housing cavity and engaging the first fin surface and a second battery cell disposed with the second housing cavity and engaging the second fin surface. The heat-conducting fin is adapted to conduct heat from the first and second battery cells outwardly from the housing.

A method for making an active material comprises the steps of forming a slurry, spray drying the slurry to form a powdered precursor composition, and heating the powdered precursor composition at a temperature and for a time sufficient to form a reaction product. The slurry has a liquid phase and a solid phase, and contains at least an alkali metal compound and a transition metal compound. Preferably the liquid phase contains dissolved alkali metal compound, and the solid phase contains an insoluble transition metal compound, an insoluble carbonaceous material compound, or both. Electrodes and batteries are provided that contain the active materials.
