A number of spinel phases with a general formula LiMn2-y Me (y) O (Me = Cr, Co, Ni) was synthesized using the melt-impregnation and sol-gel methods. All synthesized materials were subjected to electrochemical testing of their suitability as cathodes in lithium-ion batteries. Cyclic voltammograms were used in the testing. The cathode materials prepared using the melt-impregnation method showed the highest initial discharge capacity (up to 120 mA h/g) and stable operation during the cycling. The partial substitution of chromium and cobalt atoms for manganese gives positive effect: the spinel structure is stabilized during the cycling. The double doping of the Li-Mn-O system with small amounts of Co and Ni results in the stabilizing of the discharge capacity. An overstoichiometry excess of lithium in Co- or Cr-doped spinels also favors the increasing of the discharge capacity and slows down its decaying during the cycling.
