摘要
Recently, preparation and preliminary testing of Li2FeSiO4, a representative of a new class of Li storage materials, has been reported [A. Nyten, A. Abouimrane, M. Armand, T. Gustaffson, J.O. Thomas, Electrochem. Commun. 7 (2005) 156]. In the present paper, we report preparation of another material from this class: Li2MnSiO4. To the best of our knowledge, the existence of this compound has not been reported so far. Similarly as in the case of the LiMPO4 materials family (M = Fe, Mn), the Mn analogue shows considerably poorer electrochemical performance. Quite unexpectedly, however, the Mn analogue shows a better stability, especially under harsh conditions. This property appears to be crucial for determination of detailed structural features of this class of materials. The obtained structure reveals partial occupation of alternate tetrahedral sites by Li and Mn, thus implying a high ionic conductivity of these materials. The poor electrochemical performance is most likely due to poor electron wiring. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
