Abstract

Mixed phase complex lithium metal oxides are described with an overall stoichiometry represented by a formula LiNiCoMnO, −0.05≦a≦0.14, 0.1≦b≦0.25, 0≦c≦0.2, 0.45≦d≦0.8, a+b+c+d=1 and (1+a)/(b+c+d)≦1.325. The compositions are generally very high in manganese content. The compositions can have x-ray diffractograms and differential capacity profiles suggesting the presence of a layered (LiMnO)—layered (LiMetalO)—spinel crystal structure. The compositions can exhibit surprisingly low first cycle irreversible capacity losses while maintaining high specific discharge capacities, even at high discharge rates. Stabilizing coatings have been found to further significantly improve performance.
