LiMn2O4 Prepared by Liquid Phase Flameless Combustion with F-Doped for Lithium-Ion Battery Cathode Materials
LiMn2O4-yFywere synthesized by a novel method named liquid phase flameless combustion reaction with LiNO3, MnAc2.4H2O and LiF as raw materials calcined at 600 °C for 3 h with HNO3as aided oxidant. All samples were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and electrochemical performance. The results show that: all samples have main phase of LiMn2O4with impurity of Mn3O4and the vibrational bands of Mn-O are a little red shift by doping F, which indicated that the F- enter the host structure of LiMn2O4successfully. The electrochemical performance show that the initial discharge capacities of F-doped samples are lower than pristine LiMn2O4, which is 117.7 mAh•g-1. However, the capacity retention of LiMn2O3.96F0.04and LiMn2O3.90F0.10are 73.6% and 74.5%, respectively, which are higher than pristine LiMn2O4, which is only 69.0% after 40 cycles.
