Abstract: | A new type of LiFeO2–LixMnO2 solid solution was synthesized at 350 °C under argon flow by a solid-state reaction. The doped Mn ions in the LiMnxFe1?xO2 (0<x?0.5) obtained at 150 °C were regarded as an impurity in the orthorhombic LiFeO2 structure and failed to form a perfect substitution form due to the low synthesis temperature. However, the LiFeO2–LixMnO2 solid solutions with various Mn contents (Mn/(Fe + Mn)=0.1–0.5) were successfully obtained by calcination at 350 °C. Especially, the XRD pattern of the 50% Mn-substituted LiFeO2 material was very similar to that of a lithiated LixMnO2 compound. The Li/50% Mn-substituted LiFeO2 cell exhibited not only a distinct increased voltage plateau in the 2.8 V region, but also an excellent cycling performance upto 50 cycles. We believe that this LiFeO2–LixMnO2 solid solution type compound has a unique electrochemical property in the cycling process. |
