Abstract

The spinel structured lithium manganate (LMO) is a promising cathode material for lithium ion rechargeable micro-batteries due to its higher energy density, environmentally benign nature, and low cost. To date, self-discharge and capacity fading (4 and 3V range), especially at elevated temperatures, still remains major research issues of LMO based cathodes. In the present work we have successfully synthesized lithium manganate thin films by a cost effective solution growth technique. These films exhibited excellent reversible lithium ion intercalation behavior with a discharge capacity of about 55.08:Ahcm−2:m−1 at a load of 20:Acm−2. The Li+ diffusivity was found to increase by substituting a part of manganese with aluminum (Al) in LMO lattice. Al substituted LMO films exhibited better cycleability as compared to the undoped LMO films. Further studies are in progress to investigate the effect of Al substitution on the cycleability of the films.
