Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method of producing an active material powder includes (i) an attachment step of obtaining a powder including an active material particle, which stores and releases lithium ions at a potential of 4.5 V or higher based on Li, and a coating layer precursor, which is attached to a surface of the active material particle, by attaching an alkoxide solution containing lithium ions and niobium ions to the surface of the active material particle and drying the attached alkoxide solution; and (ii) a heating step of forming a coating layer on the surface of the active material particle by heating the powder obtained in the attachment step to be within a temperature range of 120° C. to 200° C.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method of producing an active material powder, the method comprising: attaching an alkoxide solution containing lithium ions and niobium ions to a surface of an active material particle and drying the attached alkoxide solution to obtain a powder; and heating the powder within a temperature range of 120° C. to 200° C. to form a coating layer on the surface of the active material particle, wherein the active material particle contains Mn and stores and releases lithium ions at a potential of 4.5 V or higher based on Li. 2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the alkoxide solution attached to the surface of the active material particle is dried while the alkoxide solution is attached to the surface of the active material particle. 3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the active material particle contains LiNi 0.5 Mn 1.5 O 4 or LiNi 1/3 Co 1/3 Mn 1/3 O 2 . 4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the active material particle contains LiNi 0.5 Mn 1.5 O 4 .
