Spinel LiMn2O4 was synthesized by solid-state method and 325680-type size full battery was fabricated. The structure and morphology of the powders were characterized by XRD and SEM technique, respectively. The battery explodes after 3 C/10 V overcharged test, and surface temperature of the battery case arrives at 290 ℃ in 12 s after exploding. Black air is given out with blast. Carbon, MnO, and Li2CO3 are observed in the exploded powders. The cathode electrode remains spinel structure with 5.0 V charged. Cracks in the cathode electrode particles are detected with the increase of voltage by SEM technique. The 5.0 V charged electrode can decompose into Mn3O4 at 400 ℃. It is demonstrated that the decomposition of 5.0 V charged electrode can be promoted and Mn^4＋ can be deoxidized to Mn^2＋ by carbon and electrolyte through the simulation of blast process.展开更多

The highly crystalline ZnMn2O4 nanowires about 15 nm in width and 500 nm in length showed a high specific capacity of about 650 mAh.g-1 at a current rate of 100 mA.g-1 after 40 cycles. They also exhibited high power capability at elevated current rates, i.e., 450 and 350 mAh.g 1 at current rates of 500 and 1000 mA.g 1, respectively. Formation of Mn3O4 and ZnO phases was identified by ex situ X-ray diffraction （XRD） and transmission electron microscopy （TEM） studies after the initial discharge-charge cycle, which indicates that the ZnMn2O4 phase was converted to a nanocomposite of Mn3O4 and ZnO phases immediately after the electrochemical conversion reaction.展开更多

Transition metal oxides have recently re- ceived a great deal of attention as very promising anode materials due to their high theoretical capacity, good safety, eco-benignity, and huge abundance. The present work re- views the latest advances in developing novel transition metal oxides, including FeeO3, Fe3O4, CO3O4, CoO, NiO, MnO, Mn203, Mn3O4, MnO2, MOO3, Cr2O3, Nb2O5, and some binary oxides such as NiCO2O4, ZnCO2O4, MnCO2O4 and CoMn2O4. Nanostructuring and hybrid strategies ap- plicable to transition metal oxides are summarized and analyzed. Furthermore, the impacts of binder choice and heat treatment on electrochemical performance are discussed.展开更多

Here by utilizing polyvinylpyrrolidone （PVP） as the as capping and structure directing agents, hierarchical Mn304 architectures involving coil-like nanorings, hexagonal nanoframes, and nanodisks are conveniently synthesized by a one-pot solution method. The sophisticated assemblies are proven to be me- diated by the PVP soft templates formed at varied concentrations. The driving forces of self-assembled complex nanostructures and the unique role of PVP concentration are discussed. Magnetic properties of the as assembled Mn3O4 rings are also studied by a SQUID system, which shows the typical side effect of Curie temperature.展开更多
