Herein we provide an effective strategy for drastically improving the cyclic behavior and rate capability of an LiMn2O4 (LMO) electrode at elevated temperature through P element doping. The P-doped LiMn2O4 materials are characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectrometry analysis. The results show that the P element is effectively and uniformly doped within the LiMn2O4 crystal lattice and is beneficial for growth of the truncated octahedral crystal structure. The electrochemical results reveal that P doping can greatly improve the cycling performance of LiMn2O4 electrodes, especially improving the rate capability at elevated temperatures. At a high 10C rate of current density and 55 degrees C, the optimized LMO (1.5 wt% P) electrode shows the highest initial specific capacity of 101.2 mAh g(-1), which become 74.4 mAh g(-1) after 500 cycles, corresponding to 73.5% capacity retention. Under similar conditions, the LMO (2.5 wt% P) electrode shows an initial discharge capacity of 78.5 mA g(-1), which become 72.2 mAh g(-1) after 500 cycles, corresponding to 92.3% capacity retention.
