Abstract

By a facile LiNO₃ flux method, lithium manganese oxide composites (xLi₄Mn₅O₁₂· yLi ₂MnO₃) were synthesized using a hierarchical organization precursor of manganese dioxide. Li₄Mn₅O₁₂ and Li₂MnO₃ have spinel and rocksalt structures, respectively. The lithiation and structural transformation from the precursor to the composites occurred topotactically from exterior toward interior in the precursor particle with the increase of reaction time, and the composites had core-shell spinel@rocksalt structures in addition to the original hierarchical core-shell organization. The electrochemical measurements at 50 °C after 50 cycles confirmed that a typical spinel@rocksalt cathode had higher capacity retention (87.1%) than that with the composition close to the stoichiometric spinel (64.6%), indicating the Li₂MnO₃ shell can improve cycling stability for the composite electrode at elevated temperature.
