Effects of lattice defects on cathode properties of LiMn2O4 synthesized at low temperatures were investigated. LiMn2O4 powders were synthesized by a sol-gel method. The specific capacities of LiMn2O4 decreased from 134 to 81 mAh g-1 with decreasing heating temperature from 750 to 200°C. X-ray absorption spectroscopy showed that a large amount of lattice defects such as cation vacancies existed and cation mixing occurred in LiMn2O4 calcined at low temperatures. It was found that the low specific capacities of LiMn2O4 calcined at low temperatures were attributed to these lattice defects.

AbstractThe microstructure of carbonaceous materials strongly affect their ability to electrochemically intercalate lithium [1]. The fractional intercalation capacity (x in LixC6) for various types of amorphous and graphitic carbons can vary over a range between 0 to 1. Capacities exceeding that of graphite (372 mAh/g or LiC6) can be obtained from chemically doped (i.e., with phosphorous [2]) materials or from carbonized organic precursors pyrolyzed at low temperatures (<900°C) [3]. Additional chemical effects apparently influence the carbon electrochemical behavior in these cases.

A few years ago results on cryoprotection of L-valine were reported, where the values of the critical fluence De i.e, the electron exposure which decreases the intensity of the diffraction reflections by a factor e, amounted to the order of 2000 + 1000 e/nm2. In the meantime a discrepancy arose, since several groups published De values between 100 e/nm2 and 1200 e/nm2 /1 - 4/. This disagreement and particularly the wide spread of the results induced us to investigate more thoroughly the behaviour of organic crystals at very low temperatures during electron irradiation.For this purpose large L-valine crystals with homogenuous thickness were deposited on holey carbon films, thin carbon films or Au-coated holey carbon films. These specimens were cooled down to nearly liquid helium temperature in an electron microscope with a superconducting lens system and irradiated with 200 keU-electrons. The progress of radiation damage under different preparation conditions has been observed with series of electron diffraction patterns and direct images of extinction contours.

The goal of imaging the finest detail possible in biological specimens leads to contradictory requirements for the choice of an electron dose. The dose should be as low as possible to minimize object damage, yet as high as possible to optimize image statistics. For specimens that are protected by low temperatures or for which the low resolution associated with negative stain is acceptable, the first condition may be partially relaxed, allowing the use of (for example) 6 to 10 e/Å2. However, this medium dose is marginal for obtaining the contrast transfer function (CTF) of the microscope, which is necessary to allow phase corrections to the image. We have explored two parameters that affect the CTF under medium dose conditions.Figure 1 displays the CTF for carbon (C, row 1) and triafol plus carbon (T+C, row 2). For any column, the images to which the CTF correspond were from a carbon covered hole (C) and the adjacent triafol plus carbon support film (T+C), both recorded on the same micrograph; therefore the imaging parameters of defocus, illumination angle, and electron statistics were identical.
