Abstract

Spinel LiMn2O4 and LiMn1.90Ni0.05 Cu0.05O4 cathode materials were synthesized by a simple solution combustion method. The structure, morphology and properties of the two samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), battery test system and electrochemical workstation. The results show that the two samples are spinel lithium manganate structure, which can be indexed as Fd3m space group. Ni Cu co doping effectively reduces the particle size and agglomeration, improves the crystallinity of the materials, and makes LiMn1.90Ni 0.05 Cu0.05O4 samples show good crystal structure stability and magnification properties. The capacity retention rates of 64.53%,79.52%and 69.47%were obtained after 1000 cycles at current densities of 1 C,5 C and 10 C,respectively, which were higher than 43.75%,55.74%and 44.38%of the corresponding undoped LiMn2O4 samples.
