摘要: LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 and LiMn2O4 with novel spinel morphology were synthesized by a hydrothermal and post-calcination process. The synthesized LiMn2O4 particles (5-10 μm) are uniform hexahedron, while the LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 has spindle-like morphology with the long axis 10-15 μm, short axis 5-8 μm. Both LiMn2O4 and LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 show high capacity when used as cathode materials for Li-ion batteries. In the voltage range of 2.5-5.5 V at room temperature, the LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 has a high discharge capacity of 135.04 mA·h·g-1 at 20 mA·g-1, which is close to 147 mA·h·g-1 (theoretical capacity of LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4). The discharge capacity of LiMn2O4 is 131.08 mA·h·g-1 at 20 mA·g-1. Moreover, the LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 shows a higher capacity retention (76%) compared to that of LiMn2O4 (61%) after 50 cycles. The morphology and structure of LiMn2O4 and LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 are well kept even after cycling as demonstrated by SEM and XRD on cycled LiMn2O4 and LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 electrodes.
