Nano-sized spinel LiMn2O4 powder fabricated via modified dynamic hydrothermal synthesis

Abstract: Nano-sized spinel LiMn2O4 powder with high crystallinity was prepared by a modified dynamic hydrothermal route. The as-synthesized LiMn2O4 powder exhibited high phase purity and better electrochemical properties than the material obtained via the static hydrothermal synthetic route. The dynamic method is believed to promote the simultaneous nucleation and growth of the LiMn2O4 phase during the synthesis. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
