Abstract

LiAl/sub 0.24/Mn/sub 1.76/O/sub 4-y/S/sub y/ (y=0, 0.02) were synthesized by the sol-gel method. Both structures were refined by Rietveld method, its structure refined as a cubic spinel, space group Fd-3m, a=8.17937(30) Å and 8.18331(19) Å respectively. Though it has been made a charge/discharge experiment above 20 times, there was no change of 3 V/4 V capacity degradation. It was considered that the volume change of MnO/sub 6/ octahedron induced by sulfur substitution plays a key role in keeping the 3 V/4 V capacity. The refined composition of the compound could be confirmed with the ICP analysis.
