Abstract

Abstract: Spinel Li_1.035Mn_1.965O₄ and Al-doped Li_1.035Al_0.035Mn_1.930O₄ cathode materials were synthesized by a simple wet-chemical technique and heat treatment. The structure and the morphology of the two samples were investigated by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and transmission electron microscope (TEM). The XRD patterns show that both of the two samples exhibit a well-defined spinel structure. The TEM result demonstrates that the Li_1.035Al_0.035Mn_1.930O₄ powder possesses a good crystalline state. The galvanostatic charge/discharge tests indicate that the Li_1.035Al_0.035Mn_1.930O₄ material delivers an excellent cycling ability and a nice rate capability, maintaining 96.4% of its initial capacity after 100 charge-discharge cycles at 0.5C and keeping 79.6% of the reversible capacity at 0.5C discharge rate when discharges at 4C rate.
