Popis: Lithium-manganese-cobalt oxides, LiMn 2-x Co x O 2 with 0 < x < 0.2 were synthesized by a solid-state multi-steep reaction, in air, from a mixed manganese-cobalt oxide with lithium hydroxide. The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction and electrochemical tests. The crystal structure of the obtained compounds is spinel-related. The discharge capacity of an Li/LiMn 2-x Co x O 2 cell with x = 0.1 was 114 mAh/ g for the fifth discharge and stayed almost the same at the cycle no. 100 - 107 mAh/g - related to the cathode capacity. The demonstrated cycling stability for 100 cycles reaches 99.93%. The improvement in cycleability can be attributed to the stabilizing role of Co 3+ ions, substituting Mn 3+ in the initial structure.
