Abstract:
A novel process is proposed for synthesis of spinel LiMn2O4 with spherical particles from the inexpensive materials MnSO4, NH4HCO3, and NH3bullH2O. The successful preparation started with carefully controlled crystallization of MnCO3, leading to particles of spherical shape and high tap density. Thermal decomposition of MnCO3 was investigated by both DTA and TG analysis and XRD analysis of products. A precursor of product, spherical Mn2O3, was then obtained by heating MnCO3. A mixture of Mn2O3 and Li2CO3 was then sintered to produce LiMn2O4 with retention of spherical particle shape. It was found that if lithium was in stoichiometric excess of 5% in the calcination of spinel LiMn2O4, the product had the largest initial specific capacity. In this way spherical particles of spinel LiMn2O4 were of excellent fluidity and dispersivity, and had a tap density as high as 1.9 g cm–3 and an initial discharge capacity reaching 125 mAh g–1. When surface-doped with cobalt in a 0.01 Co/Mn mole ratio, although the initial discharge capacity decreased to 118 mAh g–1, the 100th cycle capacity retention reached 92.4% at 25°C. Even at 55°C the initial discharge capacity reached 113 mAh g–1 and the 50th cycle capacity retention was in excess of 83.8%.
