The cathode materials, LiMn{sub 2}O{sub 4}, LiAl{sub 0.05}Mn{sub 1.95}O{sub 4} and LiAl{sub 0.05}Mn{sub 1.95}O{sub 3.95}F{sub 0.05} were firstly prepared by a simple solution-based gel method using the mixture of acetate and ethanol as the chelating agent. The synthesized samples were investigated by X-ray diffraction, scanning electronic microscope and differential and thermal analysis. The as-prepared powders were used as positive materials for lithium-ion battery, whose discharge capacity and cycle voltammogram properties were examined. The results revealed that LiAl{sub 0.05}Mn{sub 1.95}O{sub 3.95}F{sub 0.05} synthesized by the solution-based gel method had higher initial capacity than LiAl{sub 0.05}Mn{sub 1.95}O{sub 4} and better capacity retention rate (92%) than that of LiAl{sub 0.05}Mn{sub 1.95}O{sub 4} and LiMn{sub 2}O{sub 4}, which revealed that Al and F dual-doped LiMn{sub 2}O{sub 4} could gain better electrochemical properties of LiMn{sub 2}O{sub 4} than only the Al-doped LiMn{sub 2}O{sub 4}.
