Abstract

The process of lithium diffusion in the cathode material of lithium–manganese chemical power sources after a short-term discharge is investigated by analyzing the relaxation parameters of electrochemical noise and the magnitude of the injected lithium layer Magnetoresistance. Fluctuations in the lithium diffusion flux are shown being the source of electrochemical noise in this chemical power source. The data obtained also confirm the assumption made in the literature about the formation, during the cell discharge, of a poorly conducting phase with a spinel crystal structure in the surface layer of MnO2 particles, which inhibits the diffusion process.
