Abstract:Spinel LiMn2O4 cathode material was rapidly prepared by solid-state combustion synthesis which used lithium carbonate and manganese carbonate as raw materials and β-cyclodextrin as a fuel. The effects of amount of β-cyclodextrin and calcination temperature on their structure and electrochemical properties were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), galvanostatic charge-discharge test and cyclic voltammetry (CV). The optimal synthesis conditions were found to be 5 wt% β-cyc… Show more
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.
