The high voltage spinel material LiMn1.5Ni0.5O4 (LMNO) has the potential to increase the energy density of lithium batteries. However, its battery performance suffers from poor long-term cycling and high-temperature stability. In order to overcome these limitations, we have studied the effect of partial substitution of Mn with Ti and LiMn1.5−x Ni0.5TixO4 (x = 0.05, 0.1, 0.3), LMNTO, materials have been synthesized in a newly modified sol-gel method and then characterized by TEM, SEM (EDX), AC Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy and Soft X-ray Spectromicroscopy. We have demonstrated that the long-term cycling limitation with these types of materials can be resolved and herein 2000 cycles at a high C-rate have been demonstrated in half cells. We have attributed this behavior to a possible charge compensation mechanism as evidenced by a Soft X-ray Spectromicroscopy study of delithiated LMNTO materials. This work takes high energy density batteries based on high voltage spinel material one step further towards commercialization, and it is believed that further improvement can be achieved using new electrolyte formulations.
