ABSTRACT:
A cathode composition for a lithium-ion battery having the formula Li[M1(1−x)Mnx]O2where 0<x<1 and M1represents one or more metal elements, with the proviso that M1is a metal element other than chromium. The composition is in the form of a single phase having an O3 crystal structure that does not undergo a phase transformation to a spinel crystal structure when incorporated in a lithium-ion battery and cycled for 100 full charge-discharge cycles at 30° C. and a final capacity of 130 mAh/g using a discharge current of 30 mA/g.
