| ABSTRACT |
|
LiN $i_{y}$M $n_{2-y}$ $O_4$were synthesized by calcining a mixture of LiOH, Mn $O_2$(CMD), and NiO at 40$0^{circ}C$ for 10 h and then calcining at 85$0^{circ}C$ for 48 h in air with intermediate grinding. The voltage vs. discharge capacity curves at a current density 300 $mu$A/c $m^2$ between 3.5 V and 4.3 V showed two plateaus, but the plateaus became ambiguous as the y value increases. The sample with y=0.02 had the largest first discharge capacity, 118.1 mAh/g. As the value y increases from 0.02 up to 0.2, on the whole, the cycling performance became better. The LiN $i_{0.10}$M $n_{1.90}$ $O_4$sample had a relatively large first discharge capacity 95.0 mAh/g and showed an excellent cycling performance. The samples with larger lattice parameter have, in general, larger discharge capacities. The reduction curves in the cyclic voltammograms for the y=0.05-0.20 samples exhibit three peak showing that the reduction may proceed in three stages in these samples. For the samples with relatively large discharge capacity, the lattice destruction induced by strain causes the capacity fading of LiN $i_{y}$M $n_{2-y}$ $O_4$ with cycling.cling.ing. |
