Abstract

Orthorhombic LiMnO$_2$ was synthesized by solid-state reaction using LiOH$.$H$_2$O and Mn$_2$O$_3$ as starting material. Its electrochemical properties as cathode in lithium batteries were examined. X-ray diffraction revealed that the LiMnO$_2$ compound showed a well-defined orthorhombic phase of a space group with Pmnm. The capacity of LiMnO$_2$ agreed well with its specific surface area and grinding treatment was effective in improving cycling performance. For lithium polymer battery applications, the LiMnO$_2$ cell was characterized electrochemically by charge-discharge experiments. And the relationship between the characteristics of powder and electrochemical properties was studied in this research. A maximum discharge capacity of 160-170mAhg$^{-1}$ for LiMnO$_2$/Li cell was achieved
