Abstract:Changes of crystal structure of manganese dioxide during chemical and following electrochemical lithiation at high temperatures were determined using X-ray diffractometer, and the cathodical discharge properties of the compounds were analysed by simulating thermal batteries with a lithium-boron alloy anode. After chemically lithiated at 410 ℃, with the increase of Li/M n molar ratio, β-MnO2 turns to spinel-structure compounds through layered lithiated manganese dioxide which can change to spinel compounds and Mn2O3 if long-time exposed at 750℃. Intermediate phase LixMnO2 and final spinel phase LiMn2O4 also occurred if MnO2 or LixMnO2 were electrochemically lithiated at 500℃. The voltage of chemically lithiated compounds was not sensitive to Mn's initial valence when they were cathodically discharged, while over-potential was dependent mainly on the channels in which lithium-ions can diffuse inside the crystals.
