Abstract

Spinel phases Li-Mn-C with Li/Mn ratios between 0.35 and 0.8 were synthesized. The relationships between composition, manganese valence, vacancy fraction and electrochemical capacity are described using a new composition-valence phase diagram. Electrochemical performances in lithium batteries are compared. The best materials showed constant capacit> 140 Ah/kg in the range 3.5/2 V in liquid electrolyte batteries up to 20 cycles, without the usual capacity drop observed in stoichiometric LiMn204.
