Abstract:

Spinel LiCrxMn2-○x○O4 cathode material was synthesized by sol-gel assisted high temperature ball milling method using LiOH·H2O, Cr(CH3COO)3·6H2O and Mn(CH3COO)2·4H2O as raw materials . The crystal structure, surface morphology and charge-discharge performance of materials by doping different amounts of Cr were studied. The results show that the capacity retention rate of the material is greatly improved by Cr doping. The discharge capacity of the material decreases with the increasing doping amounts of Cr. The discharge specific capacity of LiCr0.2Mn1.8O4 is lower than that of LiMn2O4. The charge-discharge performance of LiCr0.05Mn1.95O4 is optimal and its initial discharge capacity is 119.6mAh/g and the discharge capacity retention rate is 97.4% after 40 cycles at a rate of 0.1. Furthermore, the discharge capacity retention rate is 96.3% after 100 cycles at various rates from 0.1 to 2.0.
