Synthesis of Ordered Mesoporous Li-Mn-O Spinel as a Positive Electrode for Rechargeable Lithium Batteries

摘要

LiMn2O4 spinel is one of the most important intercalation electrodes for rechargeable lithium batteries at the present time. It combines the highest intrinsic rate capability of the well-known intercalation cathodes with high safety, low toxicity, and low cost, making it attractive for high-power applications, such as hybrid electric vehicles. However, the drawback of this electrode is its slow dissolution in the electrolyte present in the lithium-ion battery.
