In this work, LiMn2−xErxO4 (x ≤ 0.05) samples were obtained by sol-gel processing with erbium nitrate as the erbium source. XRD measurements showed that the Er-doping had no substantial impact on the crystalline structure of the sample. The optimal LiMn1.97Er0.03O4 sample exhibited an intrinsic spinel structure and a narrow particle size distribution. The introduction of Er3+ ions reduced the content of Mn3+ ions, which seemed to efficiently suppress the Jahn–Teller distortion. Moreover, the decreased lattice parameters suggested that a more stable spinel structure was obtained, because the Er3+ ions in a ErO6 octahedra have stronger bonding energy (615 kJ/mol) than that of the Mn3+ ions in a MnO6 octahedra (402 kJ/mol). The present results suggest that the excellent cycling life of the optimal LiMn1.97Er0.03O4 sample is because of the inhibition of the Jahn-Teller distortion and the improvement of the structural stability. When cycled at 0.5 C, the optimal LiMn1.97Er0.03O4 sample exhibited a high initial capacity of 130.2 mAh g−1 with an excellent retention of 95.2% after 100 cycles. More significantly, this sample showed 83.1 mAh g−1 at 10 C, while the undoped sample showed a much lower capacity. Additionally, when cycled at 55 °C, a satisfactory retention of 91.4% could be achieved at 0.5 C after 100 cycles with a first reversible capacity of 130.1 mAh g−1.

The partial substitution of manganese by lithium and cobalt ions in 16d octahedral sites enhances the electrochemical cyclability of LiMn2O4upon cycling. The improvement in cycling performance is mainly attributed to the suppression of the Jahn–Teller distortion in the spinel structure. The as-doped spinel Mn oxide has been successfully used as cathode material in flat and flexible lithium battery.

Li-Substitution in P′2-Na0.67MnO2 mitigates the anisotropic change of Mn–O bonds and Na/vacancy ordering, and hence significantly promotes its cycling stability and rate capability as a cathode material for sodium-ion batteries.

We report a theoretical investigation and elucidation of the x-ray absorption spectra of neutral benzene and of the benzene cation. The generation of the cation by multiphoton ultraviolet (UV) ionization as well as the measurement of<br>the carbon K-edge spectra of both species using a table-top high-harmonic generation (HHG) source are described in the companion experimental paper [M. Epshtein et al., J. Phys.<br>Chem. A., submitted. Available on ChemRxiv]. We show that the 1sC -> pi transition serves as a sensitive signature of the transient cation formation, as it occurs outside of the spectral window of the parent neutral species. Moreover, the presence<br>of the unpaired (spectator) electron in the pi-subshell of the cation and the high symmetry of the system result in significant differences relative to neutral benzene in the spectral features associated with the 1sC ->pi* transitions. High-level calculations using equation-of-motion coupled-cluster theory provide the interpretation of the experimental spectra and insight into the electronic structure of benzene and its cation.<br>The prominent split structure of the 1sC -> pi* band of the cation is attributed to the interplay between the coupling of the core -> pi* excitation with the unpaired electron<br>in the pi-subshell and the Jahn-Teller distortion. The calculations attribute most of<br>the splitting (~1-1.2 eV) to the spin coupling, which is visible already at the Franck-Condon structure, and estimate the additional splitting due to structural relaxation to<br>be around ~0.1-0.2 eV. These results suggest that x-ray absorption with increased resolution might be able to disentangle electronic and structural aspects of the Jahn-Teller<br>effect in benzene cation.<br>
