Synthesis And Electrochemical Behavior Of Layered-Structure Limn_(1-X)Cr_Xo_2, Jie Xiao, Hui Zhan, Yun-Hong Zhou

Journal of Electrochemistry

The Layered-structure LiMn_(1-x)Cr_xO_(2 )(x=0,0.15) solid solution has been prepared by the rheological phase method. From the XRD results, undoped LiMnO_(2) crystallized almost entirely in the orthorhombic phase while the structure of LiMn_(0.85)Cr_(0.15)O_(2) belongs to monoclinic phase. TEM investigation shows that the final powder product consists of ultrafine spherical particles which are distributed homogeneously, with the average diameter ranging from 60 to 300nm. The initial discharge capacity of LiMn_(0.85)Cr_(0.15)O_(2) is much higher than that of undoped LiMnO_(2). After 40 cycles, the capacity retention for m-LiMn_(0.85)Cr_(0.15)O_(2 )is 94% at the current rate of 50mA/g under room temperature. The results of electrochemistry tests …

An Investigation Of Structural Properties Of Li-Al-Mixed Doped Spinels Materials Li_(1+X) Al_Ymn_(2-Y)O_4, Zi-Shan Zheng, Zi-Long Tang, Zhong-Tai Zhang, Wan-Ci Sheng

Journal of Electrochemistry

Al and Li elements were co_doped into host spinel lithium manganese oxide by a simple and economical preparation technology . There was an investigation of the influence of doped Al contents on the initial capacity and cycling performance of the materials. The investigation of the XRD patterns, the analysis of the SEM micrographs and the determination of IR spectroscopy showed that the particles of dopant materials are fine, narrowly distributed and well crystallized, and the bonds Mn_O are stronger than these of undoped materials. The resulted materials have a high initial capacity of 119 mAh/g and good cycling characterization. The …
