Title: Review–From LiMn2O4 to Partially-Disordered Li2MnNiO4: The Evolution of Lithiated-Spinel Cathodes for Li-Ion Batteries

Journal Article · · Journal of the Electrochemical Society

This personal narrative relates to the discovery in 1981 of stoichiometric LiM2O4 spinel electrodes (where M = metal cation) for lithium-ion batteries by the Goodenough group at Oxford University, UK, and the subsequent identification and evolution of stable lithiated-spinel Li2M2O4 (or LiMO2) cathodes at the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research in South Africa and Argonne National Laboratory (USA). In this work, the competition that occurs between the formation of lithiated-spinel and layered (LiMO2) structures at 400 °C, and recent efforts to design high-capacity, Mn-rich composite cathodes with partial disorder, are discussed. The paper is written in honor of John Goodenough's 100th birthday.
