POSITIVE ELECTRODE MATERIAL FOR LITHIUM SECONDARY BATTERY AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240120477 titled 'POSITIVE ELECTRODE MATERIAL FOR LITHIUM SECONDARY BATTERY AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING SAME

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a positive electrode material for a lithium secondary battery that has improved electron conductivity and surface stability due to the presence of oxidation-treated carbon nanotubes attached to the surface of an active material.

  • The positive electrode material includes a core made of a li-ni-co-mn-m-o-based material and a coating layer of oxidized carbon nanotubes with 1% to 3% by weight of oxidation-treated carbon nanotubes relative to the positive electrode active material core.

Potential Applications

  • Lithium secondary batteries
  • Electric vehicles
  • Portable electronic devices

Problems Solved

  • Improved electron conductivity
  • Enhanced surface stability
  • Increased battery performance and lifespan

Benefits

  • Higher energy efficiency
  • Longer battery life
  • Enhanced safety and reliability

Potential Commercial Applications

Optimizing Lithium Secondary Batteries with Oxidation-Treated Carbon Nanotubes

Possible Prior Art

The article does not address any potential challenges or limitations that may arise during the manufacturing process of the positive electrode material with oxidation-treated carbon nanotubes.


Original Abstract Submitted

a positive electrode material for a lithium secondary battery has improved electron conductivity and surface stability because oxidation-treated carbon nanotubes are stably attached to the surface of an active material. according to one embodiment the positive electrode material includes a positive electrode active material core made of a li—ni—co—mn-m-o-based material (m=transition metal) and an oxidized carbon nanotube coating layer formed on the surface of the positive electrode active material core and including 1% to 3% by weight of oxidation-treated carbon nanotubes (ocnt) relative to 100% by weight of the positive electrode active material core.
