Abstract

Abstract:

Aqueous Li ion batteries have been extensively studied for their safety and high ionic conductivity. As an important cathode material, LiMn₂O₄ is limited because of its poor cyclic stability in aqueous Li ion batteries. Al-doped LiMn₂O₄ cathode materials were synthesized by a simple high-temperature solid phase method, using acetylene black as the template, and applied to aqueous Li ion batteries. The discharge specific capacity of LiMn₂O₄ (125.5 mA·h·g^-1) at 0.1A·g^-1 is slightly higher than that of LiMn_1.9Al_0.1O₄(121.6 mA·h·g^-1). The capacity retention of LiMn_1.9Al_0.1O₄ cathode materials at 0.1 A·g^-1 is 90% after 200 cycles, which is higher than that of LiMn₂O₄ (78%). At a high current density of 1 A·g^-1, the LiMn_1.9Al_0.1O₄ sample displays 88% capacity retention after 500 cycles, which is considerably higher than the LiMn₂O₄ sample (57%). These results confirm that Al-doped LiMn₂O₄ cathodes can alleviate the dissolution of Mn, inhibit the Jahn-Teller effect, and improve the cycling performance.
