In this experiment, the spinel-type lithium manganese oxide (LiMn2O4) prepared via solid-phase sintering method was coated with magnesium titanium composite oxide (MgTiOx) in the presence of polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) under the ultrasonic wave. The crystal structures, surface morphologies and electrochemical properties of the sample prepared were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and electrochemical analysis. The X-ray diffractions indicated that the LiMn2O4 coated with MgTiOx were similar to that of the pure LiMn2O4, and they both showed sharp and high peaks. The particles of the samples prepared with PVP did not aggregate obviously, and the samples were coated completely and homogeneously. At charge-discharge rates of 0.2C, the first discharge capacity can reach more than 120 mAh / g. Compared with pure LiMn2O4, the capacity attenuation of MgTiOx-coated LiMn2O4 reduced after fifty cycles, and showed good electrochemical performance.
