Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2013011452A1] The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a molten material, the crystallised portion of which consists, for more than 99.3 wt %, of a single crystalline phase having the formula (Li1-aAa)1+x(G1-bJb) y[(XO4)1-dDd]zEe, where: Li is the element lithium; A is a lithium substituent selected from among the elements Na, K, H, and the mixtures thereof, wherein a is no higher than 0.2; G is selected from among the elements Fe, Mn, Ni, Co, V, and the mixtures thereof; J is a substituent of G selected from among Nb, Y, Mg, B, Ti, Cu, Cr and the mixtures thereof, wherein b is no higher than 0.5; XO4 is an oxyanion in which O designates the element oxygen and X is selected from among the elements P, S, V, Si, Nb, Mo, Al, and the mixtures thereof; D is selected from among the anions F-, OH-, CI-, and the mixtures thereof, wherein d is no higher than 0.35; E being selected from among the element F, the element Cl, the element O, the OH group, or the mixtures thereof; 0 = e = 2; -0.2 = x = 2; 0.9 = y = 2; and 1 = z = 3, said method including the following steps: a) mixing raw materials so as to form a feedstock; b) melting the feedstock until a liquid mass at a temperature Tm, which is higher than the melting temperature Tf of the molten material obtained at the end of step e), is obtained; c) cooling until said liquid mass is completely solidified, so as to obtain a molten material, the amorphous phase of which is constitutes less than 80 wt % thereof; d) optionally crushing and/or grinding and/or performing selection by particle size on said molten material; e) optionally, heat-treating the molten material at a temperature which is an increment lower than the melting temperature Tf of said molten material and which is between Tf-800°C (or 500°C if Tf-800°C is less than 500°C) and Tf-50°C, for a period of time during which the temperature is maintained at said increment and which is more than 90 minutes, in a reducing environment; and f) optionally, crushing and/or grinding and/or performing selection by particle size on said molten material.
