Abstract

Bare LiMn2O4 was coated by a thin Al 2O3 layer using electrostatic attraction forces to investigate the effects of the Al2O3 coating on the high-temperature cyclic performance of LiMn2O4. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) studies indicated that 5-nm thin and amorphous Al2O3 layer formed uniformly on the surface of 2 wt.% Al2O3 coated LiMn2O4. The high-temperature cyclic performance of the LiMn2O4 was significantly improved by the coating. From the Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) and X-ray Fluorescence (XRF) analysis, the coating reduced the charge transfer resistance and inhibited the Mn dissolution. The improved electrochemical performance of the Al2 O3 coated LiMn 2 O4 was attributed to the decrease in the Mn dissolution by the coating.
