Improvement of storage performance of LiMn2O4/graphite battery with AlF3-coated LiMn2O4

LiMn₂O₄/graphite batteries using AlF₃-coated LiMn₂O₄ have been fabricated and their electrochemical performance including discharge capacity and cyclic and storage performances have been tested and compared with pristine LiMn₂O₄/graphite batteries. The LiMn₂O₄/graphite battery with AlF₃-coated LiMn₂O₄ shows better capacity (108.5 mAhg^?1), cyclic performance (capacity retention of 92.7 % after 70 cycles), and capacity recovery ratio (98.6 %) than the pristine LiMn₂O₄ battery. X-ray diffraction patterns shows that the spinel structure of AlF₃-coated LiMn₂O₄ can be controlled better than that of pristine LiMn₂O₄ after storage. The improvement in electrochemical performance of the AlF₃-coated LiMn₂O₄/graphite battery is due to the fact that AlF₃ acts as a stabilizer and can protect the oxide structure from damaging during storage, leading to a smaller resistance and polarization after storage.     

Resonant photoemission spectroscopy study of electronic structures of LiMn2O4

LiMn2O4 films grown by pulsed-laser deposition

LiMn₂O₄ films have been deposited onto silicon wafer by pulsed-laser deposition (PLD) technique in order to test their reliability as cathode materials in rechargeable lithium microbatteries. The film formation has been studied as a function of the preparation conditions, i.e., composition of the target, substrate temperature, and oxygen partial pressure in the deposition chamber. Depending on the conditions of deposition, Mn₂O₃ was present as an impurity phase. When deposited onto silicon substrate maintained at 300 °C in an oxygen pressure of 100 mTorr from the target LiMn₂O₄+15 % Li₂O, the PLD films are well-textured with crystallite size of 300 nm. It is found that such a film crystallizes in the spinel structure (Fd3m symmetry) as evidenced by x-ray diffraction and Raman scattering measurements. Surface morphologies of layers were investigated by SEM. The cells Li//LiMn₂O₄ have been tested by cyclic voltammetry and galvanostatic charge-discharge techniques in the range 3.0–4.2 V. The voltage profiles show the two expected steps for Li_xMn₂O₄ with a specific capacity as high as 120 mC/cm² μm. The chemical diffusion coefficients for the Li_xMn₂O₄ thin films appear to be in the range of 10⁻¹¹-10⁻¹² cm²/s.

Electrochemical activities of yttrium doped spinel LiMn2O4

It was found for the first time that the catalysis of yttrium doping of spinel LiMn₂O₄ can enhance the electrochemical activities of manganese, leading to both improvement of electrochemical capacity and reactivity with the electrolyte of manganese. A proper amount of doping was 0.5%, and such yttrium-doped sample, Li(Y_0.005Mn_0.995)₂O₄, had an initial capacity of 130 mAh g⁻¹ over that of the undoped one with the capacity retention to reach 92.3% exceeding that of the undoped one at 100th cycle.     

Configurational entropy-induced phase transition in spinel LiMn2O4

The spinel-type LiMn$_{2}$O$_{4}$ is a promising candidate as cathode material for rechargeable Li-ion batteries due to its good thermal stability and safety. Experimentally, it is observed that in this compound there occur the structural phase transitions from cubic ($Fd\bar{3}m)$ to tetragonal ($I4_{1}/{amd}$) phase at slightly below room temperature. To understand the phase transition mechanism, we compare the Gibbs free energy between cubic phase and tetragonal phase by including the configurational entropy. Our results show that the configurational entropy contributes substantially to the stability of the cubic phase at room temperature due to the disordered Mn$^{3+}$/Mn$^{4+}$ distribution as well as the orientation of the Jahn-Teller elongation of the Mn$^{3+}$O$_{6}$ octahedron in the the spinel phase. Meanwhile, the phase transition temperature is predicted to be 267.8 K, which is comparable to the experimentally observed temperature. These results serve as a good complement to the experimental study, and are beneficial to the improving of the electrochemical performance of LiMn$_{2}$O$_{4}$ cathode.     

The optimized preparation and electrochemical properties of LiMn1.95Co0.05O4 and Al2O3-coated LiMn1.95Co0.05O4

Cathode material LiMn_1.95Co_0.05O₄ for lithium ion battery was synthesized via solid state reaction, and calcination temperature and time were investigated, respectively. Thermogravimetry (TG) and differential thermal analysis (DTA) measurements were utilized to determine the calcination temperature of precursor sample. The optimized calcination temperature and time are 850 °C and 15 h. The surface of LiMn_1.95Co_0.05O₄ cathode is coated using Al₂O₃ coating materials. The phase structures, surface morphologies, and element types of the prepared LiMn_1.95Co_0.05O₄ and Al₂O₃-coated LiMn_1.95 Co_0.05O₄ were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), and energy spectrum analysis (EDS). The 0.5 wt% Al₂O₃-coated compound exhibited better specific capacity and capacity retention than bare sample. The initial discharge capacity was 140.9 mAh/g and capacity retention was 96.7 % after 10 cycles at 0.1 C. Such enhancements are attributed to the presence of a stable Al₂O₃ layer which acts as the interfacial stabilizer on the surface of LiMn_1.95Co_0.05O₄.     

An electrochemical study on the substituted spinel LiMn1.95Cr0.05O4

Cyclic voltammetry, galvanostatic charge?Cdischarge technique, potentiostatic intermittent titration technique (PITT), and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) were used to study the behavior of a LiMn_1.95Cr_0.05O₄ (substituted lithium?Cmanganese spinel) electrode in nonaqueous electrolytes at 25 °C. Quantitative and qualitative changes of the electrode transport parameters as functions of lithium concentration were analyzed. Several equivalent circuits are discussed; the results obtained by different methods are compared. The PITT and EIS results are in good agreement; the chemical diffusion coefficient D varies within 10^?14?C10^?9 cm² s^?1 depending on the lithium content in the Li_xMn_1.95Cr_0.05O₄ electrode.     

Precursor derived LiMn2O4 thin films as ionic conductor

Crystalline films have been deposited on Au substrates to exhibit as the cathode in rechargeable thin film lithium batteries. The nucleation and growth of spinel LiMn₂O₄ crystallites were investigated with heat treatment of the deposited thin films. Film capacity density as high as 22 μAh/cm² was measured for LiMn₂O₄. The film heat treated at 700 °C were cycled electrochemically up to 30 cycles against Li metal without any degradation of the capacity. There were neither open area nor amorphous layers which prevent the Li⁺ions transfer at the boundaries in the LiMn₂O₄ thin film. The microscopic study revealed that (111) planes in the two grains directly bonded at the grain boundary which could proceed the lithium ion intercalation or deintercalation smoothly.
