Synthesis of spinel lithium manganate powders using an inverse emulsion process (original) (raw)

This study presents a novel water-in-oil inverse emulsion process for synthesizing spinel lithium manganate (LiMn2O4) powders, a promising cathode material for lithium-ion batteries. Traditional synthesis methods often lead to issues like compositional contamination and grain growth, impacting electrochemical performance. By employing this method, the authors demonstrate a more efficient synthesis that yields monophasic LiMn2O4 powders with enhanced electrochemical properties. Thorough analysis of thermal, infrared, and X-ray diffraction characteristics validates the effectiveness of this technique.
