The thermodynamics and kinetics of the lithium insertion process into the quaternary spinel Li[sub x]Mn[sub 2]O[sub 4] [times] yV[sub 2]O[sub 5](x = 0.5 to 3, y = 0.25 to 0.5) have been studied. The partial molar quantities [Delta][bar G][sub Li(x)], [Delta][bar H][sub Li(x)], and [Delta][bar S][sub Si(x)] of lithium in the quaternary spinels have been determined from electromotive force-temperature measurements performed using 1M LiClO[sub 4] solution of propylene carbonate in the temperature range from 298 to 330 K. These thermodynamic functions varied with the lithium concentration in the oxide structure and a major variation was observed around x = 1 in Li[sub x]Mn[sub 2]O[sub 4] [times] yV[sub 2]O[sub 5]. The chemical diffusion coefficient for lithium [tilde D] in the spinel oxides has been measured as functions of the lithium composition and temperature by a current-pulse relaxation technique. The values of [tilde D], obtained in the x value range from 0.5 to 1.0 at 298K, were found to be several orders of magnitude higher than those in the x value range from 1.3 to 2.5. The lithium self-diffusion coefficient D[sub Li], partial lithium-ion conductivity and activation energy for lithium diffusion have been calculated.
