    Abstract: A method of producing a positive electrode active material for a nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery, the method includes preparing nickel-containing composite oxide particles having a ratio 1D90/1D10 of a 90% particle size 1D90 to a 10% particle size 1D10 in volume-based cumulative particle size distribution of 3 or less; obtaining a raw material mixture containing the composite oxide particles and a lithium compound and having a ratio of a total number of moles of lithium to a total number of moles of metal elements contained in the composite oxide in a range of 1 to 1.3; subjecting the raw material mixture to a heat treatment to obtain a heat-treated material; subjecting the heat-treated material to a dry-dispersion treatment to obtain a first dispersion; and bringing the first dispersion into contact with a liquid medium to obtain a second dispersion.

    Abstract: In a battery recycling process, a recycling stream including charge material metals from exhausted Li-ion batteries is aggregated or otherwise comminuted to generate recycled battery charge material having comparable or improved cycle life as well as recycled charge material precursor having fewer cracking defects using doping substances in both a coprecipitation phase and a sintering phase of the recycling sequence. Prior to coprecipitation of a cathode material precursor, a leach solution of comingled charge material metals is produced, the ratio of the charge material metals is adjusted based on recycled battery specifications, and a relatively small quantity of a first dopant is added. The doped precursor, a lithium salt, and a second dopant are combined and sintered to form a doped cathode material having a single crystal morphology and a higher tap density than the doped cathode precursor.

    Abstract: The disclosure is directed to sintered cathode active materials than can be used in lithium-ion batteries. The sintered cathode active materials are prepared by forming a calcinated powder. The calcinated power is combined with inactive components to form a slurry. The slurry is dried and densified to form a green body. The green body is sintered to form the sintered cathode active material. The powder, slurry, green body, and sintered cathode active material have properties that provide improved performance of the cathode active material.

    Abstract: A Li-ion cathode material is prepared by a multi-stage lithiation process that separates a total amount of lithium called for by the recycled battery to be used in a series of sintering stages. A leaching, ratio adjustment and coprecipitation sequence forms a cathode precursor having a predetermined ratio of metallic elements from a comingled recycling stream of Li-ion batteries. The precursor is sintered with a lithium salt in a sequence of stages, each having a portion of the total lithium quantity, for a predetermined duration and temperature. The initial sintering stage tends to define the crystallinity of the resulting active cathode material and has a particle size determined at least in part by the portion of lithium at each stage.
