The pretreated EMD and prepared LiMn2O4 were characterized by X-ray diffraction and inductively coupled plasma emission spectrometry. Charge and discharge tests of Li/LiMn2O4 batteries were also employed to evaluate electrochemical performance. The experimental results show that inorganic impurity contents in EMD decrease remarkably after acid treating; presintering EMD can remove adsorbent water and organic impurity, enlarge pore space and increase active reaction sites; pre-doping chromium in EMD can form more homogenous compound substance LiCr0.05Mn1.95O4, which shows better structural stability and capacity retention.展开更多
