Abstract

By selecting LiOH·H2O and Mn(CH3COO)2·2H2O as starting-materials, the positive materials with the structure characterization of Li4Mn5O12 and composition of Li3.22Na0.569Mn5.78O12.0 were prepared by two-phase sintering method consisted of microwave and solid-state sintering processes. XRD patterns data showed that a pure Li4Mn5O12 phase was obtained by the fore-treatment of microwave sintering and the post-treatment of the solid-state sintering at 380℃. The charge-discharge tests showed that the newly prepared sample exhibited an initial capacity of 132 mAh·g-1 and its capacity faded after 100 cycles was 6.8% lower as compared with 1st cycle capacity in the voltage range of 4.5 to 2.5 V. The sample stored for 4 months exhibited an initial capacity of 122 mAh·g-1 and its capacity faded after 100 cycles was 17.4% lower than its 1st cycle capacity in the same voltage range. The Mn-O bond of the sample strengthened by microwave sintering process.
