COMPOSITE CATHODE ACTIVE MATERIAL, CATHODE AND LITHIUM BATTERY INCLUDING THE SAME, AND METHOD OF PREPARING THE COMPOSITE CATHODE ACTIVE MATERIAL - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18474350 titled 'COMPOSITE CATHODE ACTIVE MATERIAL, CATHODE AND LITHIUM BATTERY INCLUDING THE SAME, AND METHOD OF PREPARING THE COMPOSITE CATHODE ACTIVE MATERIAL
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a composite cathode active material for use in a lithium battery. The composite material consists of a core made up of primary particles, a grain boundary between adjacent primary particles, and a shell surrounding the core. The core is composed of a nickel-containing lithium transition metal oxide with a layered crystal structure, while the shell is made of a second lithium transition metal oxide with a spinel crystal structure. The grain boundary contains a first composition with a spinel crystal structure.
- The composite cathode active material consists of a core, a grain boundary, and a shell.
