Abstract: The invention provides a cathode particle comprising a secondary particle comprised of primary particles sans lithium proximal to their surfaces, wherein each of the primary particles have embedded carbon layers or passageways. Also provided is a method for making a single crystal particle having embedded carbon layers, the method comprising dissolving metal salts and carbon stock in water to create a solution; mixing the solution with a lithium containing compound at a subcritical temperature of water to create a mixture of agglomerated particles; allowing the mixture to reach a hydrothermal reaction condition for a time to form carbon layered grain-free single crystal lithiated particles; removing surface lithium from the single crystal lithiated particles; drying the single crystal partially de-lithiated particles after washing and filtering; and heat-treating the particles after forming granulated secondary particles such that the secondary particles comprise a plurality of the primary particles physically contacting each other.

Abstract: The invention provides a cathode active material having a discrete change in concentrations of a first base region and a second pulse region. Also provided is a method for preparing a cathode active material, the method having the steps: supplying chelating agent, aqueous basic solution and a first aqueous metal salt solution to a reactor to create a base region; supplying a second aqueous metal-salt solution to a reactor to form a pulse region, wherein the second aqueous metal-salt solution is intermittently or continuously added during or after the creation of the base region; thermally treating the base region and the pulse region to create active metal precursors; mixing the precursors with lithium salt to produce a mixture; and thermally treating the mixture.
