Electrochemical Characterization of Superfine Spinel LiMn2O4 Synthesized By Microwave-Polymer Network Method

Abstract

Abstract: Superfine spinel LiMn₂O₄ powders were synthesized with a gelation precursor by microwave-polymer network
process. The gelation precursor was obtained by mixing Li₂CO₃, Mn(NO₃) and polyacrylamide. Electrochemical tests show that the initial specific
capacity is 120mAh/g, and the degradation rate of specific capacity is only 4.7% after 50 cycles. SEM and XRD results prove that the microwave-polymer
network process can increase the purity of the phase, reduce the particle size of spinel LiMn₂O₄, and provide more active sites for Li⁺ intercalation.
The microwave-polymer network process is a new method not only for synthesizing cathode material of Li ion cells,but also for synthesizing other advanced oxide
ceramic materials.

Key words: LiMn₂O₄, spinel, polymer, network, microwave
