Abstract
Spinel LiMn2−x Ni x O4 compounds doped with a range of Ni (x=0–0.06) were synthesized by a spray-drying method. The structure and morphology characteristics of the powders were studied in detail by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. The XRD data reveal that all the samples have well-defined spinel structure, but, with the increase in Ni content, the doped lithium manganese spinels have smaller lattice constant. The undoped and doped spinel LiMn2O4 particles are fine, narrowly distributed, and well crystallized. The electrochemical characteristics of the samples are measured in the coin-type cells in a potential range of 3.2–4.35 V vs Li/Li+. All cyclic voltammogram curves exhibit two pairs of redox reaction peaks, but, among them, there are some differences about the peak split. With the increase in the Ni content, the specific capacities of the samples decrease slightly, but their cyclic ability increases.
