Abstract

A series of compounds with the general formula LiMn2 - x - y Cr x Ni y O4, where x + y = 0.05, 0.5, or 1.0, is synthesized. It is shown that all these compounds are pure-phase spinels with parameter aequal to 0.8193-0.8236 nm. Doping a stoichiometric lithium-manganese spinel simultaneously with chromium and nickel makes the spinel structure stable. The initial specific capacity of a spinel depends on its doping degree. Doping LiMn2O4 with chromium and nickel simultaneously at an Mn : Cr : Ni ratio of 195 : 3 : 2 raises the spinel's specific capacity and reduces the cycling degradation. The change in the discharge capacity of LiMn1.95Cr0.03Ni0.02O4 electrodes cycled at 20, 0, and -14°C is determined.
