This study investigates the role of defects in spinel LiMn1.5Ni0.5O4 (LMNO) cathode materials and presents a method to manipulate structure-property relationships without traditional high-temperature annealing. LMNO samples from different precursors show varying defect levels and electrochemical performances. The findings suggest potential for developing high-performance high-voltage lithium-ion batteries using beta-MnO2-delta precursors.
This study examines the role of defects in structure-property relationships in spinel LiMn1.5Ni0.5O4 (LMNO) cathode materials, especially in terms of Mn3+ content, degree of disorder, and impurity phase, without the use of the traditional high-temperature annealing (>= 700 degrees C used for making disordered LMNO). Two different phases of LMNO (i.e., highly P4(3)32-ordered and highly Fd (3) over barm-disordered) have been prepared from two different beta-MnO2-delta precursors obtained from an argon-rich atmosphere (beta-MnO2-delta (Ar)) and a hydrogen-rich atmosphere [beta-MnO2-delta (H-2)]. The LMNO samples and their corresponding beta-MnO2-delta precursors are thoroughly characterized using different techniques including high- resolution transmission electron microscopy, field-emission scanning electron microscopy, Raman spectroscopy, powder neutron diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, synchrotron X-ray diffraction, X-ray absorption near-edge spectroscopy, and electrochemistry. LMNO from beta-MnO2-delta (H-2) exhibits higher defects (oxygen vacancy content) than the one from the beta-MnO2-delta (Ar). For the first time, defective beta-MnO2-delta has been adopted as precursors for LMNO cathode materials with controlled oxygen vacancy, disordered phase, Mn3+ content, and impurity contents without the need for conventional methods of doping with metal ions, high synthetic temperature, use of organic compounds, postannealing, microwave, or modification of the temperature-cooling profiles. The results show that the oxygen vacancy changes concurrently with the degree of disorder and Mn3+ content, and the best electrochemical performance is only obtained at 850 degrees C for LMNO-(Ar). The findings in this work present unique opportunities that allow the use of beta-MnO2-delta as viable precursors for manipulating the structure-property relationships in LMNO spinel materials for potential development of highperformance high-voltage lithium-ion batteries.
