The average valence of Mn was decreased by F substitution, accordingly, the amount of Mn3+ were increased, therefore, the initial capacity was elevated and sample c (LiMn2O3.5F0.5) had the highest capacity (127mAh/g). Despite of the elevated initial capacity, the single F substitution deteriorated the cyclability.
XPS spectra showed the average valence of nickel decreased from +3 to +2 with Ni content in LiNixMn2-xO4. However, the average valence of manganese increased from +3 to +4. The decreasing of Mn3+ ions amount can limit the Jahn-Teller distortion of [MnO6] octahedron.
From the Raman spectra of LiNixMn2-xO4, we found that the intensity of the shoulder peaks near 590 cm-1 became stronger with nickel doping, which confirms the increase of the average valence of Mn in LiNixMn2-xO4. The frequency of Raman vibrations in LiNixMn2-xO4 increased because the covalent interaction ofNi-O is larger than that of Mn-O, indicating a stronger stability of the [MnO6] octahedron framework.
The results show that the contents of Mn2+, Mn3+ and Mn4+ of the samples synthesized at different conditions are different and as a result there are different average valence of manganese.
The (220) diffraction peak of spinel crystal appeared for LiNi0.4Mn1.6O4, which indicated partial occupation of the 8a sites by nickel atoms in the heavy doped LiNi0.4Mn1.6O4.The average valence of nickel and manganese ions and the ratio of Mn3+/Mn4+ can be studied by XPS.
X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) analysis showed that the average valence of Cr in Sr3Cr2O8 is +5.2, suggesting the presence of mixed valence states in this compound.
The structure and the electrochemical performances of Co, Cr, Ni, Cu, Al doped spinel lithium manganese oxides in the 4 V range are introduced. Compared with pure spinel LiMn 2O 4, the doped oxides still have spinel structure. With increasing dopant content, their lattice constants and cell volume decrease, average valence of Mn increases, and initial specific capacity in 4 V range decreases. The doped oxides have better cyclability. The mechanisms of performance change in doped spinel LiMn ...
Electronic structures of Li(Co,Al)O 2 and Mg-doped Li(Co,Al)O 2 were studied theoretically via ab initio calculation based on density-functional theory. Studies of band structures and density of states show that hole states appear in the valence bands of the Mg-doped material as well as an increase in bandwidth,which are in charge of the increase in the observed electronic conductivity. It was found by analysis of Co3d density of states that the divalence Mg doping induces a higher cobalt val...
The spinel Lithium manganese oxide was synthesized with solid reaction method. Synthesized atmosphere, synthesized temperature, heating time and ratio of the raw material were investigated. The content of the different manganese valence of the samples was determined by titration analysis. The results show that the contents of Mn2+, Mn3+ and Mn4+ of the samples synthesized at different conditions are different and as a result there are different average valence of manganese. The electrochem...
