A low temperature sol-gel technique was employed for the synthesis of vanad
ium substituted spinel of the type LiMn2-xVxO4 (x = 0.1 to 0.5). X-ray diff
raction data indicates evidence for substitution of vanadium in the lattice
. Particle size, FTIR, and differential thermal analyses were carried out o
n the samples. Charge-discharge characteristics of cells fabricated using t
hese materials were studied. The cells were found to be stable for more tha
n 20 cycles. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
