A series of spinel phase cathode materials prepared by a simple hydrothermal process for rechargeable lithium batteries

A series of spinel-structured materials have been prepared by a simple hydrothermal procedure in an aqueous medium. The new synthetic method is time and energy saving i.e., no further thermal treatment and extended grinding. The main experimental process involved the insertion of lithium into electrolytic manganese dioxide with glucose as a mild reductant in an autoclave. Both the hydrothermal temperature and the presence of glucose play the critical roles in determining the final spinel integrity. Particular electrochemical performance has also been systematically explored, and the results show that Al³⁺, F⁻ co-substituted spinels have the best combination of initial capacity and capacity retention among all these samples, exhibited the initial capacity of 115 mAh/g and maintained more than 90% of the initial value at the 50th cycle.     

Synthesis and electrochemical properties of spinel LiMn2O4 prepared by the rheological phase method

Pure-phase and well-crystallized spinel LiMn₂O₄ powders were successfully synthesized by a simple rheological phase method. The thermal behavior and structure properties of the powders prepared by the rheological phase method compared with the solid-state reaction were investigated by thermogravimetry, powder X-ray diffraction , scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. According to the results of the electrochemical tests, it is obvious that the sample resulting from the rheological phase method shows higher discharge capacity and better cycling stability than one formed in the solid-state reaction. The cyclic voltammogram and columbic efficiency curves also confirm that the product by the rheological phase method has a good cycling performance due to its fine cubic spinel structure and morphology.     

LiMn2O4 nanorods as a super-fast cathode material for aqueous rechargeable lithium batteries

LiMn₂O₄ nanorods were prepared by a facile hydrothermal method in combination with traditional solid-state reactions and characterized by X-ray diffraction analysis. Their electrochemical behavior was tested by cyclic voltammetry and repeated charge/discharge cycling. Results show that the reversible intercalation/deintercalation of Li-ions into/from LiMn₂O₄ cathode can yield up to 110 mAh/g at 4.5 C, and still retains 88% at the very large charge rate of 90 C with well-defined charge and discharge plateaus. It presents very high power density, up to 14.5 kW/kg, and very excellent cycling behavior, 94% capacity retention after 1200 cycles. It is thus a competitor for LiFePO₄.     

Physical properties and electrochemical performance of LiMn2O4 cathode materials prepared by a precipitation method

LiMn₂O₄ powder for lithium-ion batteries was prepared by a precipitation method, and the effects of calcination temperature on the physical properties and electrochemical performance of the samples were investigated by various methods. The results of X-ray diffraction (XRD) showed that the lattice parameter (a) and the unit cell volume (v) decrease with the increasing calcination temperature, and the LiMn₂O₄ sample calcined at 750°C has smaller particle size and higher crystallinity than other samples. The results of the electrochemical experiments showed that the sample calcined at 750°C has larger peak currents, higher initial capacity, and better cycling capability, because of its lower charge-transfer resistance and larger diffusion coefficient of Li⁺ ions than those of other samples.     

Synthesis and electrochemical properties of chemically substituted LiMn2O4 prepared by a solution-based gel method

Lithium manganese oxide, LiMn(2)O(4), and its substituted samples LiM(0.05)Mn(1.95)O(4) (M=Al, Co, and Zn) were first prepared by a cost-saving and effective new solution-based gel method using a mixture of acetate and ethanol as the chelating agent. The physical properties of the synthesized samples were investigated by thermogravimetry/differential thermal analysis, X-ray diffraction, and scanning electronic microscopy. The as-prepared powders were used as positive materials for a lithium-ion battery, whose charge/discharge properties and cycle performance were examined. The results revealed that all the substituted samples had better cycle performance than pure LiMn(2)O(4). Among these synthesized materials, the LiCo(0.05)Mn(1.95)O(4) sample had the best cycle performance. After 30 cycles, its capacity loss was only 3%. Therefore, cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy were employed to characterize the reactions of Li ion insertion into and extraction from LiCo(0.05)Mn(1.95)O(4) electrodes.

Surface fluorination of the cathode active materials for lithium secondary battery

LiMn₂O₄ was treated with F₂ at room temperature (RT), 373 and 473 K under 1.3, 6.6 and 13.2 kPa-F₂. XPS data indicate that two kinds of fluorine species may exist on the sample surface and the ratio of these fluorines is affected by choosing the reaction condition. The peak indicating Mnⁿ⁺ bonded to fluorine appeared in the XPS spectra of Mn2p3/2 electron. From the results of the charge/discharge measurements, the efficiency of charge/discharge process for the sample fluorinated under 1.3, 6.6 and 13.2 kPa-F₂ below 373 K was larger than that of untreated one. The discharge capacity of the fluorinated sample was also larger than that of untreated one. The discharge capacity, the loss of discharge capacity during 50 charge/discharge cycles, F/O ratio measured from XPS data and the intensity of the peak indicating Mnⁿ⁺ bonded to fluorine in the XPS spectra were closely related to each other. The optimal fluorination condition was under 1.3 kPa-F₂ at RT for 1 h.     

Comparison of different soft chemical routes synthesis of nanocrystalline LiMn2O4 and their influence on its physicochemical properties

A comparative study of nanocrystalline spinel LiMn₂O₄ powders prepared by two different soft chemical routes such as solution and sol-gel methods using lithium and manganese acetates are the precursors under different calcination temperatures. The dependence of the physicochemical properties of the spinel LiMn₂O₄ powder has been extensively investigated by using thermal analysis (TGA/DTA), FTIR, X-ray diffraction studies, SEM, specific surface area (BET) and electrical conductivity measurements. The results show that pure LiMn₂O₄ can be prepared from acetate precursors as starting materials at a low temperature of 600°C from solution route and 500°C from sol-gel method. The charge-discharge characteristics and the cycling behavior of Li/1M LiBF₄-EC/DEC electrolyte / LiMn₂O₄cells revealed that LiMn₂O₄ calcined at higher temperatures showed a high initial capacity, while the LiMn₂O₄calcined at lower temperatures exhibited a good cycling behavior.     

Preparation of spinel ferrite NiFe2O4 fibres by organic gel-thermal decomposition process

Functional spinel ferrite fibers are attractive for high-tech applications. The spinel NiFe₂O₄ fibres have been successfully prepared by the organic gel-thermal decomposition process from raw materials of Ni, Fe nitrate salts and citric acid. The gel spinning performance was a major factor for preparation of uniform gel fibrous precursors. The gel spinnability was related to the citrate-metal complex structure and linear-type structural molecules [(C₆H₆O₇)₄NiFe₂]_n for the gel precursor was possibly formed during the complexation reaction between the citric acid and metal ions at pH 5. The composition, structure of the gel precursors and products derived from thermal decomposition of these precursors were characterized by FTIR, XRD, and SEM. The thermal decomposition process of the gel precursors was investigated by TG-DSC. The prepared spinel NiFe₂O₄ fibres having grain sizes of 60–70 nm were featured with diameters of about 1 μm, and aspect ratios up to 10⁶ (length/diameter).

Polycrystalline LiMn₂O₄ powers calcined at 750 ℃ were found to be composed of very uniformly-sized microcrystal with an average particle size of 300 nm. The improvement in electrochemical properties was mainly attributed to the process of re-grinding by absolute alcohol.
