Abstract
A positive electrode active material for a lithium ion battery comprises a lithium transition metal-based oxide powder, the powder comprising single crystal monolithic particles comprising Ni and Co and having a general formula Li(NiMnCoZrA)O, wherein A is a dopant, −0.025≤a<0.005, 0.60≤z≤0.95, y≤0.20, 0.05≤x≤0.20, k≤0.20, 0≤q≤0.10, and x+y+z+k+q=1. The particles have a cobalt concentration gradient wherein the particle surface has a higher Co content than the particle center.
