Abstract
Spherical LiMn2O4 nanoparticles were successfully prepared via solution combustion synthesis by controlling calcinating temperature. XRD results indicate that high purity LiMn2O4 can be fabricated by calcinating the precursor above 600 °C. SEM results reflect that LiMn2O4 calcinated lower than 600 °C are composed of nanoparticles about 100 nm. Therefore, LiMn2O4 calcinated at 600 °C possess high purity and nanoparticles, which ensure the most excellent electrochemical performance among the precursor as well as LiMn2O4 calcinated at 500 °C, 600 °C and 700 °C. LiMn2O4 calcinated at 600 °C even can deliver a capacity of 103.8 mA h gâ1 at 10 C, which is the 83.6% of the capacity at 0.2 C. It also displays excellent capacity retention ratio of 95.1% for 100 cycles at constant current rate of 1 C.
