Abstract

Spinel LiMn ₂O ₄ is a low-cost, environmentally friendly, and highly abundant material for Li-ion battery cathodes. Here, we report the hydrothermal synthesis of single-crystalline β-MnO ₂ nanorods and their chemical conversion into free-standing single-crystalline LiMn ₂O ₄ nanorods using a simple solid-state reaction. The LiMn ₂O ₄ nanorods have an average diameter of 130 nm and length of 1.2 μm. Galvanostatic battery testing showed that LiMn ₂O ₄ nanorods have a high charge storage capacity at high power rates compared with commercially available powders. More than 85% of the initial charge storage capacity was maintained for over 100 cycles. The structural transformation studies showed that the Li ions intercalated into the cubic phase of the LiMn ₂O ₄ with a small change of lattice parameter, followed by the coexistence of two nearly identical cubic phases in the potential range of 3.5 to 4.3V.
