Abstract

The complex correlation between Mn(3+) ions and the disordered phase in the lattice structure of high voltage spinel, and its effect on the charge transport properties, are revealed through a combination of experimental study and computer simulations. Superior cycling stability is achieved in LiNi(0.45)Cr(0.05)Mn(1.5)O(4) with carefully controlled Mn(3+) concentration. At 250th cycle, capacity retention is 99.6% along with excellent rate capabilities.
