Modeling, synthesis and characterization of LiMn(sub 2)O(sub 4) spinels

摘要

The authors report on an integrated program to understand the fundamentals of LiMn(sub 2)O(sub 4) performance as a cathode for lithium ion rechargeable batteries. Specifically, this program is designed to address the effects of doping on the crystal chemistry, lattice constants, and electrochemical performance. The work is being expanded to include studies on LiCoO(sub 2) and LiNiO(sub 2).
