Several researchers have investigated high capacity and energy density superlattice structures. However, there is no evidence that it has been produced commercially and in large scale amounts. The critical process optimization required to do so is currently been exhibited by Hybrid Technologies. Hybrid is taking superlattice from a laboratory scale to industrial scale.
The target material is a mixed oxide with a general formulation of Li1+xMnaCobNicTidO2.
A series of superlattice cathode materials have been produced under different conditions of time and temperatures.
A process was involved to assure homogeneous mixing of all starting materials. Precursor material was pre-calcined and then subsequently calcined at high temperature ranging 700°C to 900°C.
