Synthesis and structural aspects of LiMn{sub 2}O{sub 4{+-}{delta}} as a cathode for rechargeable lithium batteries
- Sony Corporation Research Center, Yokohama (Japan)
The phase diagram of LiMn{sub 2}O{sub 4} over a wide oxygen pressure-temperature region was determined, and the thermodynamics of the oxygen extraction (the heat of reaction, {Delta}H, etc.) were estimated using thermal analysis, X-ray diffraction, sample quenching, and a high pressure oxygen treatment. The oxygen stoichiometry, {delta}, in LiMn{sub 2}O{sub 4{+-}{delta}} varied with the selection of treatment conditions. The extent of the cooperative Jahn-Teller effect in the LiMn{sub 2}O{sub 4{minus}{delta}} and various kinds of spinel Mn oxides are discussed in terms of the Madelung potential and Mn valency using the DV-X{alpha} calculation. The performance of coin-type cells containing cathodes of the synthesized spinel was investigated and compared to that of cells containing standard LiMn{sub 2}O{sub 4} spinel cathodes.
