Abstract: | Lithium manganese oxide, LiMn2O4, has been studied by many research groups. This material is a great candidate to be used as positive electrode in rechargeable lithium-ion batteries because of its low cost, abundant precursors and non-toxicity. LiMn2O4 has a spinel Fd-3m structure and shows a reversible extraction and insertion of lithium ions that is one of the most important characteristic of positive electrodes in rechargeable batteries.In this work, LiMn2O4 samples were synthesized by solid state reaction. A partial lithium removal was performed on this system by chemical delithiation using HCl aqueous solutions at different concentrations. Six partial-extracted compounds were obtained and characterized by Ion beam analysis (IBA) in order to obtain the Li concentrations. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Rietveld analyses were also performed. A rigorous study of lithium contents is critical to analyze the structure properties of these compounds and samples production parameters. The IBA method used in this work was the analysis of energy spectra of elastic backscattered (EBS) proton from Mn, O and Li nuclei and the α-particles energy from the 7Li(p,α)4He nuclear reaction (NR). |
