A lithium positive electrode active material intermediate including less than 80 wt % spinel phase and a net chemical composition of LixNiyMn2-yO4-δ wherein 0.9≤x≤1.1; 0.4≤y≤0.5; and 0.1≤δ. Further, a process for the preparation of a lithium positive electrode active material with high tap density for a high voltage secondary battery where the cathode is fully or partially operated above 4.4 V vs. Li/Li+, comprising the steps of a)heating a precursor in a reducing atmosphere at a temperature of from 300° C. to 1200° C. to obtain a lithium positive electrode active material intermediate; b)heating the product of step a. in a non-reducing atmosphere at a temperature of from 300° C. to 1200° C.; wherein the mass of the product of step b. increases by at least 0.25% compared to the mass of the product of step a.
A process for the preparation of a lithium positive electrode active material for a high voltage secondary battery, where the cathode is fully or partially operated above 4.4 V vs. Li/Li+, said process comprising the steps of:
