Abstract
Ultrathin LiMn2O4 nanowires with cubic spinel structure were synthesized by using a solvothermal reaction to produce α-MnO2 nanowire followed by solid-state lithiation. LiMn 2O4 nanowires have diameters less than 10 nm and lengths of several micrometers. Galvanostatic battery testing showed that LiMn 2O4 nanowires deliver 100 and 78 mAh/g at very high rate (60C and 150C, respectively) in a larger potential window with very good capacity retention and outstanding structural stability. Such performances are due to both the favorable morphology and the high crystallinity of nanowires. © 2010 American Chemical Society.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
