Abstract

The invention relates to lithiated mixed metal compositions having ultrathin film coatings of varying thicknesses on lithium ion sites and on metal oxide sites, wherein the thickness of the ultrathin film at least partially covering the metal oxide sites is greater than the thickness of the ultrathin film at least partially covering the lithium ion sites. Also disclosed is a method for forming the compositions, comprising selectively coating one area of a multi-component substrate. Materials such as mixed metal oxides, for use in lithium battery electrodes, may be improved by a coating which preferentially deposits onto one or more elements in the mixed material but not another.
