Structural And Electrochemical Studies On Lithium Manganese Oxide Containing Li + Prepared By Hydrothermal Method For Lithium Ion Batteries, Deyao Liu, Jinkua You, Wei Chu, Yong Yang, Zugeng Lin

Journal of Electrochemistry

In this paper, Todorokite manganese oxides containing Li + with large tunnel structure(sample M5) have been synthesized by hydrothermal methods from natural manganese oxide nano fiber (sample M4). The structure and composition of the samples were characterized and analyzed by XRD, ICP, TGA and DTA. Its electrochemical behavior as a cathode materials for rechargeable lithium ion insertion were studied by galvanostatic charge/discharge measurements. XRD results show that the sample M4 is mainly composed of Birnessite and Vernadite structure. Although the sample M4 shows a high initial capacity of approximately 150 mAh/g, its performances decrease gradually over 30 cycles. It is …

XRD,TEM,ICP,low scan_rate CV and charge/discharge tests were carried out for the studies on the structural and electrochemical behavior of a prepared 3 V manganese oxide cathode for rechargeable lithium ion batteries.XRD analysis revealed that the cathode sample is mainly composed of tunneled Todorokite and layered Vernadite.TEM investigation confirmed that the morphology of the sample is a laminated construction with approximate 10nm layer space.The reversibility of Li + removal/intercalation and structural stability of this sample framework to lithium insertion are good in CV and charge/discharge tests. The discharge capacities were found to be about 129mAh/g obtained on first 30 cycles and …
