Manganese dissolution into an electrolyte from the spinel LiMn2O4 in the lithium-ion cell has been recently investigated. In order to study the influence of the dissolved manganese species on the lithium intercalation/deintercalation into a natural graphite electrode, the electrochemical behavior of graphite was investigated in 1 mol dm(-3) LiClO4, electrolyte solution containing a small amount of Mn(II) by the addition of manganese(II) perchlorate. During the charging process, Mn(II) ions were firstly electroreduced on the electrode around 1.0 V versus Li/Li+ followed by irreversible decomposition of the electrolyte and lithium intercalation into the graphite. By microscopic observation of the graphite surface, manganese deposition was confirmed after the charge/discharge test. Due to the manganese deposition, the reversible capacity of the graphite electrode was drastically decreased. Furthermore, the cyclability of the anode was degraded with the amount of the manganese additive increasing. We compared these results with those of the cobalt(II) and nickel(II) additives by dissolving the corresponding perchlorates. Furthermore, we discussed the influence in practical cells based on the consideration of electrochemistry of the deposited metals. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
