Y. Idemoto et al., Relation between property and electrode characteristics of LiMn2-xMgxO4 positive electrode material for the lithium secondary battery, ELECTROCH, 67(3), 1999, pp. 235-237
The quaternary spinel LiMn2-xMgxO4 in which a part of Mn is replaced by Mg
(x=0 similar to 0.5) are prepared, and Mn valence was determined by chemica
l analysis. The effect of electrode characteristics of the positive electro
de active materials was investigated. The lattice parameter a decreased and
Mn valence increased with increasing Mg content. Substitution a part of Mn
with Mg brought to a good cycle performance in spite of some decrease on t
he initial capacity.
