Abstract: | High-voltage LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 spinels were synthesized by a low temperature solution combustion method at 400 °C, 600 °C and 800 °C for 3 h. The phase composition, structural disordering, micro-morphologies and electrochemical properties of the products were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and constant current charge–discharge test. XRD analysis indicated that single phase LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 powders with disordered Fd-3m structures were obtained by the method at 400 °C, 600 °C and 800 °C. The crystallinity increased with increasing preparation temperatures. XRD and FTIR data indicated that the degree of structural disordering in the product prepared at 800 °C was the largest and in the product prepared at 600 °C was the least. SEM investigation demonstrated that the particle size and the crystal perfection of the products were increased with increasing temperatures. The particles of the product prepared at 600 °C with ~200 nm in size are well developed and homogeneously distributed. Charge/discharge curves and cycling performance tests at different current density indicated that the product prepared at 600 °C had the largest specific capacity and the best cycling performance, due to its high purity, high crystallinity, small particle size as well as moderate amount of Mn3+ ions. |
