DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The initial step in the practice of the present invention involves preparing an acetate precursor for the ternary oxide. This end is effected by admixing, with rapid stirring, an acetate of manganese or cobalt and the hydroxides of lithium and ammonium in an amount sufficient to yield the stoichiometric phase of the ternary oxide. In this process, the ammonium hydroxide is employed primarily for the purpose of adjusting the pH to a value of approximately 7, the point at which a controlled precipitation occurs. The required amount of ammonium is defined by the sum of hydroxyl groups from lithium hydroxide and from ammonium hydroxide equal to the normality of the transition metal cation , Mn , or for Co in LiCoO2. Upon such mixing, a gelatinous precipitate is formed instantaneously. Studies of the resultant precipitates reveal that the manganese composition is stable for only a few hours in contrast with the cobalt composition which is stable for several weeks. A ccordingly, the manganese must be protected from oxygen to avoid the formation of
Mn3÷ leading to the precipitation of Mn2O3.
Following, the gelatinous precipitate so formed is dried thermally at a temperature ranging from 60°C — 150°C , the specific temperature chosen being dependent upon the composition and desired use thereof. Thus, for example, heating the manganese composition at a temperature of 90°C permits formation of a viscous solution which can be deposited upon a suitable substrate by spin coating which permits subsequent synthesis of LiMn O4 thick films. Heating of the gelatinous precipitate at the higher temperatures (150° C) results in the formation of a xerogel of small grain size.
Then, the resultant xerogels of manganese and cobalt are heated to a temperature within the range of 200-500°C to remove the acetate. At
400°C the manganese composition becomes a pure LiMn2O4 phase. In order to attain the cobalt composition of corresponding purity, heating should be continued to 500°C . An exemplary embodiment of the practice of the present invention is set forth below. It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that this embodiment is presented solely for purposes of exposition and is not to be construed as limiting.
Example
Compositions selected for use included a 0.8 M/l solution of manganese acetate, lithium hydroxide ( 1 M/l) and ammonium hydroxide (3 M/l) . The manganese and lithium solutions were employed in stoichiometric amounts to yield the required phase of LiMn204. The ammonium hydroxide was employed in an amount sufficient to furnish 2 hydroxyl ions per metal ion . The hydroxides were quickly added to the manganese acetate solution with violent stirring, so resulting in the instantaneous formation of a gelatinous precipitate, the manganese solution being protected against oxygen to avoid formation of Mn + 3. The precipitate was then dried by heating up to 150CC to yield a homogeneous xerogel in which the lithium and manganese ions were well mixed . Finally, the dried precipitate was annealed at a temperature within the range of 200-400°C to yield the acetate free LiMn204 phase which comprised grains or crystallites ranging in size between 0.3 μm and 1 μm . The resulting LiMn2O4 powders prepared at 300°C and 400°C were then compared with similar powders prepared at temperatures of 500, 600, and 800°C and their intercalation properties assessed . This end was attained using swagelock test cells that were assembled in a helium dry-box . Approximately 20 mg of LiMn2O 4 powder was mixed with 10% carbon black, pressed into a pellet and used as the positive electrode with lithium as the negative electrode . Both electrodes were separated by a porous glass filter soaked in an electrolyte prepared by dissolving 1 M /l LiC104 and 1M 12-crown-4 ether in propylene carbonate. Cycling data was then obtained and plotted in graphical form .
With reference now to FIG . 1 , there is shown a graphical representation on coordinates of LixMn2O4 against voltage in volts showing the cycling data over a range of potential from 4.5-3.5 volts for the foregoing compositions annealed at temperatures from 300-800°C at a current density of 600 μA/cm2. The assembled cell is first charged to remove the Li ions within LixMn204, so that the cathode then becomes the open structure spinel λ-Mn204.
The assembled cells containing LixMn2O4 powders were automatically tested, equivalently charged and discharged up to four cycles at a constant current while potential was monitored as a function of time. A review of FIG . 1 reveals that the cycling data was in the range of potential of 4.5-3.5 volts which corresponds to the first lithium intercalation plateau for intercalation of 1 Li into λ-Mn O4 , and over the range of potential of 3.5-2.2 volts (shown on the sam e coordinates in FIG . 2) which corresponds to the second lithium intercalation plateau into LiMn2O4 to give Li2Mn2O4. In both FIGURES, it will be noted that the capacity of the cells and their cycling behavior are comparable to or better than similar properties for the samples prepared at the higher temperatures. Accordingly, the data reveals that the low temperature process, which yields finer size particles of LiMn2O4, does not affect the capacity of the cells and enhances their cycling behavior.
With reference now to FIG . 3, there is shown a graphical representation on coordinates of LixMn2O4 content against voltage in volts showing the cycling characteristics between 4.5 and 2 volts, covering both plateaus. Once again , it will be noted that the charge/discharge curves are similar to those previously reported for cells using the LiMn2O phase prepared at 400°C as the positive electrode.
A still further advantage of the described solution technique over the prior art solid state reactions is that thick films are attainable . With reference now to FIG . 4, there is shown a graphical representation on coordinates of LixMn2O content (thick film) against voltage in volts showing cycling behavior over the range of 4.5-3.0 volts at 400 μA/cm2. The electrode was prepared by forming a 10 μm thick film of LixMn204 by dipping a stainless steel substrate into a viscous acetate aqueous solution prepared as described above and then fired for 16 hours at 600°C . The cycling data are similar to that shown for the bulk material.
It will be understood by those skilled in-the-art that the described technique can be used with equivalent efficacy in the preparation of LiCoO2. However, the initial Co-acetate solution will be of a different concentration to attain the required composition which may be prepared in bulk or thick film form . It has also been found that an annealing temperature of 500°C is generally required to obtain the LiCo02 phase . Lastly, it has also been found that it is feasible, using acetate precursors , to prepare NaxMnO or NaxCoO2 in accordance with the described process with NaOH being substituted for LiOH .
