| Structural and Defect Study of LiMn 2 0 4 Formation  | | | | Abstract
| The LiMn 2 0 4 formation from MnO and Li 2 C0 3 mixtures with lithium cationic fraction 0.31 < x < 0.40 was studied by structural profile refinement from X-ray data, thermal (TGA and DSC) measurements and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) observations. Quantitative phase analysis, structural and microstructural parameters and composition of the coexisting phases were obtained. Different behaviours were observed in the composition ranges 0.33 < x < 0.35 and x > 0.37. In the former range only the stoichiometric spinel phase was obtained, in the latter, in addition to the Li 2 Mn0 3 compound, two spinel phases could be considered: I) LiMn 2 0 4 stoichiometric spinel; II) Li i +> Mn2-> .04 (0.11 < y < 0.23), a non-stoichiometric phase whose small particle size resulted practically independent of the initial composition and annealing temperature. Such a conclusion was supported also by SEM observations. The relative abundance of phase II increased with increasing lithium content and with decreasing temperature. | | | |
