Abstract

The electrochemical behavior of spinel LiMn_(2)O_(4)electrode in ionic liquid electrolyte was investigated by using cyclic voltammetry, galvanostatic charge-discharge and ACimpedance techniques. The results reveal that the spinel LiMn_(2)O_(4)can be effectively cycled in electrolyte based on the ionic liquid with discharge capacity of 108.2mAh/g and Coulombic efficiency of more than 90% in the first cycle at room temperature. Temperature and current density play an important role in the electrode performances. The activation energy for lithium ion transfer through interface between the electrode and the electrolyte was evaluated by AC impedance spectroscopy. The high activation energy accounts for the poor cell performance at low temperature and for its poor rate capability.
