Despite the structural and thermal stability of LiMn{sub 2}O{sub 4} compared with LiCoO{sub 2} and LiNiO{sub 2} electrodes, the solubility of LiMn{sub 2}O{sub 4} spinel electrodes has precluded their widespread use in commercial lithium-ion cells. The solubility problem has been attributed to attack of the spinel particles by acidic species in the electrolyte, such as HF, which induces a isproportionation reaction at the particle surface: 2 Mn{sup 3+}(solid) {yields} Mn{sup 4+}(solid) + Mn{sup 2+}(solution). Many efforts have been made to minimize the solubility of the spinel electrode, for example, by substituting mono-, di- or trivalent cations for some of the manganese ions to decrease the concentration of Mn{sup 3+} ions in the initial LiMn{sub 2}O{sub 4} electrode. In this respect, we have recently highlighted the important role that the tetrahedral A-site plays in stabilizing spinel electrodes. In other efforts to suppress manganese dissolution, techniques to coat the spinel particles with a lithium borate glass, LiCoO{sub 2} or ZrO{sub 2} have been used. In this presentation, we will compare the electrochemical and structural properties of several substituted spinels, Li{sub 1.05}M{sub 0.05}Mn{sub 1.9}O{sub 4}, with a particular emphasis on M = Al and Ni, the X-ray diffraction patterns. The enhanced electrochemical stability of substituted spinel electrodes will also be compared with the stability that can be obtained from coated spinel electrodes,notably LiMn{sub 2}O{sub 4} electrodes that are protected with ZrO{sub 2} and Al{sub 2}O{sub 3} coatings.
