All LiNixMn2-xO4 （x=0-0.3） compounds show a single spinel phase, and the lattice parameter （a）, the unit cell volume （v） and particle size decrease with increasing Ni content. The results of the electrochemical experiments showed that the initial charge-discharge capacity of LiNixMn2-xO4 samples in the 3.0-4.4 V range decreases with increasing Ni content except for pure LiMn2O4; however, the capacity in the 4.4-4.9 V range increases with the increasing Ni content. For spinel samples Ni substitution can contribute to the improvement of their cycle performance due to the formation of the stronger Ni-O bond, homogeneous morphology, and sub-micron sized particles, and the sample with x=0.05 has larger peak currents, higher initial capacity and better cycling capability due to its lower electrochemical and diffusion polarization than those of other samples.展开更多
