Electrochemical behaviour of spinel LiMn2O4 as positive electrode in rechargeable lithium cells

The spinel, lithium intercalation compound LiMn2O4 is prepared and studied using the techniques of a.c. impedance and cyclic voltammetry. The impedance behaviour of the LiMn2O4 electrode varies as lithium ions are intercalated or de-intercalated. The reversible behaviour of lithium ions in the LiMn2O4 electrode is confirmed by the results of cyclic voltammetry.
