Synthesis and Electrochemical Properties of Yttrium-doped Spinel LiMn2−yYyO4 Cathode Material

Abstract

Yttrium doped spinel LiMn2−yYyO4 with single phase was synthesized and characterized. The data of the XRD show that the limit for Y solubility is y≤0.02. The beneficial effect of Y is evident by way of improved cyclability. The electrode of LiMn1.98Y0.02O4 shows excellent electrochemical properties with a first discharge capacity of 118 mA·h·g−1 and retaining 98% of the initial capacity after 100 cycles at the current rate 0.2 C.

Effects of temperature on the ferromagnetism of Mn-doped ZnO nanoparticles and Mn-related Raman vibration

“…Nanoparticles of Zn 1−x Mn x O (x = 0.1) were synthesized by a rheological phase-reaction-precursor method [14][15][16][17][18][19]. Stoichiometric…”

Molten salt synthesis of LiGd0·01Mn1·99O4 using chloride–carbonate melt

“…6,7 Several investigations have been made to overcome the capacity fading by doping with rare metal cations, such as Nd, 8,9 La, 10,11 La, Ce, Pr, 12,13 Sm, 14 Ce 15 and Y. [16][17][18] Molten salt synthesis (MSS) is a simple method for preparing complex oxides with the desired stoichiometry using a low melting flux. Molten salts, such as LiCl, NaCl and KCl, are usually used as a solvent or reaction species in many chemical reactions.…”

A soft chemistry synthesis routine for LiFePO4–C using a novel carbon source

“…In this work, an example of preparing LiFePO 4 material with nano-sized fine particles by employing a novel carbon source of polyethylene glycol (PEG) with a very simple soft chemistry method-the rheological phase reaction method [16][17][18][19] is provided. The solid reactants are fully mixed in a proper molar ratio, made up by adding the required amount of water or other solvent to a solid-liquid rheological body in which the solid particles and liquid substance are uniformly distributed.…”
