Abstract:
A positive electrode active material has a small difference in a crystal structure between the charged state and the discharged state. For example, the crystal structure and volume of the positive electrode active material, which has a layered rock-salt crystal structure in the discharged state and a pseudo-spinel crystal structure in the charged state at a high voltage of approximately 4.6 V, are less likely to be changed by charging and discharging as compared with those of a known positive electrode active material. In order to form the positive electrode active material having the pseudo-spinel crystal structure in the charged state, it is preferable that a halogen source such as a fluorine and a magnesium source be mixed with particles of a composite oxide containing lithium, a transition metal, and oxygen, which is synthesized in advance, and then the mixture be heated at an appropriate temperature for an appropriate time.

Abstract:
Rapid, reversible redox activity may be accomplished at significantly reduced temperatures, as low as about 200° C., from epitaxially stabilized, oxygen vacancy ordered SrCoO2.5 and thermodynamically unfavorable perovskite SrCoO3-δ. The fast, low temperature redox activity in SrCoO3-δ may be attributed to a small Gibbs free energy difference between the two topotactic phases. Epitaxially stabilized thin films of strontium cobaltite provide a catalyst adapted to rapidly transition between oxidation states at substantially low temperatures. Methods of transitioning a strontium cobaltite catalyst from a first oxidation state to a second oxidation state are described.

Abstract:
A lithium transition metal composite oxide, comprising a twin crystal structure. The twin crystal structure includes a first crystalline region and a second crystalline region. A grain boundary exists between the first crystalline region and the second crystalline region. The first crystalline region includes a first region located within 20 nm from the grain boundary. The second crystalline region includes a second region located within 20 nm from the grain boundary. An angle between a transition metal layer in the first region and a transition metal layer in the second region is 65° to 80°. By adjusting the angle between the transition metal layer in the first region and the transition metal layer in the second region to fall within 65° to 80°, it can improve stability of the twin crystal structure, and in turn, improve the cycle performance of the electrochemical device at a high voltage.
