LiMn 2 O 4 (LMO) is a very attractive choice as cathode material for power lithium-ion batteries due to its economical and environmental advantages. However, LiMn 2 O 4 in the 4-V region suffers from a poor cycling behavior. Recent research results confirm that modification by coating is an important method to achieve improved electrochemical performance of LMO, and the latest progress was reviewed in the paper. The surface treatment of LMO by coating oxides and nonoxide systems could decrease the surface area to retard the side reactions between the electrode and electrolyte and to further diminish the Mn dissolution during cycling test. At present, LiMn 2 O 4 is the mainstreaming cathode material of power lithium-ion battery, and, especially the modified LMO, is the trend of development of power lithium-ion battery cathode material in the long term.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
