Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

To provide: a range of gas mixture compositions that make it possible to hinder Li/Ni cation mixing and transition metal peroxidation; and a method for producing a nickel-rich cathode active material, comprising a firing process using the gas mixtures. The method for producing a nickel-rich cathode active material comprises a firing step, in which a cathode precursor containing at least a predetermined amount of nickel, and a metal oxide solid raw material containing lithium raw material, are fired in a reactor having an atmosphere comprising a gas mixture containing oxygen in the range of 94% by volume to 98% by volume. The oxygen content of the gas mixture is preferably 95% by volume to 97% by volume.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . A method for producing a nickel-rich cathode active material, comprising: a firing step, in which a cathode precursor containing at least a predetermined amount of nickel, and a metal oxide solid raw material containing lithium raw material, are fired in a reactor having an atmosphere comprising a gas mixture containing 94% by volume to 98% by volume of oxygen, wherein the gas components other than the oxygen in the gas mixture comprise one or more gas selected from argon, nitrogen, helium, and krypton. 2 . The method for producing a nickel-rich cathode active material according to claim 1 , wherein, the gas component other than oxygen is argon, and an argon content of the atmosphere is 2% by volume to 5% by volume. 3 . The method for producing a nickel-rich cathode active material according to claim 1 , wherein, the gas components other than oxygen are argon and nitrogen and the argon content of the atmosphere is greater than the nitrogen content of the atmosphere. 4 . The method for producing a nickel-rich cathode active material according to claim 3 , wherein the nitrogen content is >0% by volume to 2% by volume. 5 . (canceled)
