Abstract: | Ti-doped spinel LiMn2O4 is synthesized by solid-state reaction. The X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction analysis indicate that
the structure of the doped sample is Li( Mn3 + Mn1 - x 4 + Tix4 + )O4 {\hbox{Li}}\left( {{\hbox{M}}{{\hbox{n}}^{3 + }}{\hbox{Mn}}_{1 - x\,}^{4 + }{\hbox{Ti}}_x^{4 + }} \right){\hbox{O}}{}_4 . The first principle-based calculation shows that the lattice energy increases as Ti doping content increases, which indicates
that Ti doping reinforces the stability of the spinel structure. The galvanostatic charge–discharge results show that the
doped sample LiMn1.97Ti0.03O4 exhibits maximum discharge capacity of 135.7 mAh g−1 (C/2 rate). Moreover, after 70 cycles, the capacity retention of LiMn1.97Ti0.03O4 is 95.0% while the undoped sample LiMn2O4 shows only 84.6% retention under the same condition. Additionally, as charge–discharge rate increases to 12C, the doped sample
delivers the capacity of 107 mAh g−1, which is much higher than that of the undoped sample of only 82 mAh g−1. The significantly enhanced capacity retention and rate capability are attributed to the more stable spinel structure, higher
ion diffusion coefficient, and lower charge transfer resistance of the Ti-doped spinel. |
