摘要
Spinel LiMn2O4 particles were successfully coated with CuO, MgO, ZnO, Al2O3 and CeO2 by a melting impregnation method. Except for the CeO2-coated sample, all the others exhibit better cycling stability than bare LiMn2O4 at room temperature and at 55°C. Among these samples, the ZnO-coated sample shows the best cycling stability. A capacity of 100 mA•h•g -1 still remained after 100 cycles at 55°C while the bare LiMn2O4 retains a capacity of only 80 mA•h• g-1 after the same number of cycles. The improvement in the cycling stability is attributed to the suppressed Mn dissolution caused by HF. © 2008 Higher Education Press and Springer-Verlag GmbH.
