Abstract

An attempt has been made to synthesize LiMn2O4 spinel and boron substituted LiMn2O4 with atomic concentration of boron ranging from 0.01–0.20 and using glutaric acid as a chelating agent. The spinels have been characterized using PXRD, CV and galvanostatic charge-discharge studies. The precursor obtained from the glutaric acid assisted gel was calcined initially at 300 °C for 4 h to obtain the compound and finally at 800 °C for 4 h so as to obtain homogeneity, high degree of purity and crystallinity for better electrochemical performance. This paper suggests that glutaric acid assisted B3+ doped (LiBxMn2−xO4) spinel was found to be as an apt candidate with good electrochemical performance for use in lithium battery.
