Nickel-rich layered lithium transition metal oxides have been investigated as high-energy cathode materials for rechargeable lithium batteries because of their high specific capacity and relatively low cost. Such an oxide with high capacity (215 mA h g-1), where the nickel concentration decreases linearly whereas the manganese concentration increases linearly from the centre to the outer layer of each particle, is now proposed.
