Abstract

Uniform and spherical LiAl0.075Mn1.925O4 particles have been successfully synthesized by the high-pressure spray-drying method. The structures and electrochemical properties of the particles were characterized by various techniques. Benefiting from the sphere-like morphology and Al-doping, LiAl0.075Mn1.925O4 delivers a capacity retention of 81.6% after 1000 cycles at 2°C, while LiMn2O4 exhibits a capacity retention of only 32.2%. The rate capability and reversible cycling performance are also improved. Furthermore, this work significantly alleviates the dissolution of Mn in LiMn2O4 materials, and effectively improves the transfer rate of lithium ions at the electrode/electrolyte interface. The spherical LiAl0.075Mn1.925O4 prepared by a facile method shows great potential for practical application in low-cost and long-life lithium-ion batteries.
