Abstract

We report synthesis, crystal structure, lattice dynamics, and electrochemical features of the lithiated manganese oxide spinel prepared through solid state reaction by careful selection of precursors and synthesis conditions. Elemental analysis shows that the material is a lithium-rich spinel phase. X-ray diffraction data and Rietveld refinement indicate formation of a single phase, impurity free, normal spinel of LiMn2O4. Lattice dynamics have been investigated by vibrational spectroscopy and group theoretical analysis has been carried out. Electrochemical performances of the lithiated spinel manganese oxide have been investigated, and the voltage profile of the cathode during lithium intercalation-deintercalation processes, close to equilibrium, has been obtained. The upper 4-volt plateau provides over 130 mA h/g with an excellent cyclability.
