Lithium Manganese Oxide

Basic Parameters

Properties

• High rate capability. The three-dimensional structure of LiMn₂O₄ lends it self to high rate capability by providing well connected framework for the insertion and de-insertion of Li+ ions during discharge and charge of the battery. In particular, the Li+ ions occupy the tetrahedral sites within the Mn₂O₄ polyhedral frameworks adjacent to empty octahedral sites. Because of this structural arrangement, lithium ion batteries based on LiMn₂O₄ cathodes have demonstrated a higher rate-capability compared to materials with two-dimensional frameworks for Li+ diffusion.
• High stability. Compared with other cathode materials such as lithium cobalt oxide (LiCoO₂), LiMn₂O₄ has better thermal stability and lower risk of thermal runaway.
• Low cost. LiMn₂O₄ is relatively less expensive due to the abundant availability of manganese and the simplicity of the synthesis process when compared to other cathode materials like LiCoO₂.

Synthesis

LiMn₂O₄ can be synthesized through various methods, including:

• Solid-state reaction
