摘要:
The Li1.02NbxMn2-xO4(x=0, 0.005, 0.01, 0.02, 0.04 and 0.1)were prepared by solid-state reaction method in which Li2CO3, electrolytic MnO2 and Nb2O5 were used as reactants. The influence of the Nb5+ doping on structure, morphology and electrochemical performance were systemically investigated by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), cyclic voltammetry (CV) and AC impedance. XRD test showed that the prepared samples have single spinel structure although there was impurity phase of LiNbO3 existing in Li1.02NbxMn2-xO4 phase after Nb5+ doping. The doped materials with Nb5+ have smaller lattice parameters and the crystal volume compared with pristine Li1.02Mn2O4. The endurance of overcharge was largely improved. In addition, the small amount of Nb5+ doping can increase the material conductivity.
