Cathode Material for Use in Lithium Electrochemical Cell and Lithium Electrochemical Cell Including Said Cathode Material.

Abstract

The general object of this invention is to provide an improved lithium electrochemical cell. A more particular object of the invention is to provide an inexpensive, high energy material with excellent cycle-life and rate capabilities for use as the cathode of the lithium electrochemical cell. It has now been found that the aforementioned objects can be attained by providing a new mixed-metal oxide of vanadium and molybdenum with the formulation V9MO6O40 and solid solutions of V9MO6O40 with V2O5 or M0O3 for use as the cathode active material in a lithium electrochemical cell. Use of these materials in cathodes for lithium electrochemical cells results in an inexpensive, high energy, high rate cathode with good cycle life.
