Abstract

Non-stoichiometric spinel compounds Li 1.02M xMn 1.95O 4-yF y (M = Co, Y, and Ga) were prepared for the first time by the rheological phase reaction method. The Li 1.02M xMn 1.95O 4-yF y samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction, while the particle size and shape of the Li 1.02M xMn 1.95O 4-yF y were observed by scanning and transmission electron microscopy. The as-prepared samples were used as cathode materials in lithium-ion batteries, their electrochemical properties were tested, and the results showed that the non-stoichiometric spinels Li 1.02M xMn 1.95O 4-yF y had better cycling performance than pure LiMn 2O 4. In addition, among the different non-stoichiometric spinel samples, the Li 1.02Mn 1.95Co 0.02Y 0.01Ga 0.01O 3.97F 0.03 sample not only had higher charge/discharge capacity, but also showed the best cycling performance, as the loss of its capacity was only 7% after 100 cycles. The possible reasons for the outstanding electrical properties of Li 1.02Mn 1.95Co 0.02Y 0.01Ga 0.01O 3.97F 0.03 are also discussed. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd.
