Structural changes of LiMn{sub 2}O{sub 4} spinel electrodes have been investigated in 4 V Li/Li{sub x}Mn{sub 2}O{sub 4} cells by X-ray diffraction during prolonged electrochemical cycling between 4.5 and 3.4 V at room temperature. The capacity fade that is observed during cycling is attributed, at least partly, to disproportionation reactions at the particle surface of discharged Li{sub x}Mn{sub 2}O{sub 4} electrodes, resulting in a soluble MnO component. The disproportionation reactions are described with respect to the Li-Mn-O phase diagram. The data support recent reports that Li{sub 2}Mn{sub 2}O{sub 4} can be formed at the electrode surface slightly above 3 V when cells are discharged and charged at high rates.
