Popis: | LiMn 2 O 4 is a hopping semiconductor ( = 2 x 10 -6 Ω -1 cm -1 ) as is λ-MnO 2 obtained by full delithiation. A semiconductor-metal transition is not observed by Li + extraction because the critical Mn-Mn distance for this transition (2.743 A) is shorter than those observed for λ-MnO 2 and LiMn 2 O 4 (2.803 and 2.913 A, respectively). However, on Li + removal the charge-transfer resistance of the spinel decreases, perhaps as a consequence of enhanced Li + crossing of the electrolyte/cathode interface. A full charge/discharge cycle does not allow one to reinsert the same amount of Li + extracted as a consequence of a structural alteration. The abrupt voltage drop at the end of the cycle coincides with a unit cell parameter of ∼8.24 A, i.e., the same value of the original spinel. Spinels prepared at 700-750°C have electrochemical features different from those of spinels made at 800-900°C.In particular, Li + is more easily extracted from the former in a process which seems to create Li + ordering for x = 2/3 and x = 1/3 ion Li x Mn 2 O 4 . The self-discharge characteristics of fully oxidized spinels in different electrolytes have been examined. |
