“…LiNi x Mn 2– x O 4 delivered 137.0 mAh g –1 ( x = 0.01), 135.2 mAh g –1 ( x = 0.03), 136.6 mAh g –1 ( x = 0.05), 136.8.0 mAh g –1 ( x = 0.08), and 120.9 mAh g –1 ( x = 0.10) at the lower current rate of C/5, comparable to other previously reported LMO and LNMO. ,,,,,,− ,,,− The lower capacity of the material with a higher Ni concentration can be associated with what was described previously. , Xu and Meng performed theoretical studies to understand the diffusion processes of lithium in the spinel structure. These authors have concluded that the different valence states of Mn ions and their arrangements, surrounding the lithium ions affect the activation barrier of lithium diffusion in the spinel structure.…”
