Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2023280534A1] Process for making a coated electrode active material wherein said process comprises the following steps: (a) providing an electrode active material according to general formula Li1+xTM1-xO2, wherein TM is Ni or a combination of Ni and at least one of Co and Mn, and, optionally, at least one metal selected from Al, Mg, Ti and Zr, and x is in the range of from zero to 0.2, (b) contacting said electrode active material with a solution of salts of M2 wherein M2 is a combination of metals that includes Co, Cu, Ni, Zn and Mg, at a temperature in the range of from 5°C to 85°C, (c) removing the solvent from step (b), thereby obtaining a solid residue, (d) exposing the solid residue from step (c) to 3 to 10 pulses of electromagnetic radiation with a wavelength in the range of from 200 to 1400 nm, wherein the duration of the pulses is in the range of from 1 milliseconds to 2 seconds, (e) heat-treating the material so obtained in an oxygen-containing atmosphere at a temperature in the range of from 300 to 750 °C for 10 minutes to 4 hours.
