Abstract

Lithium manganese oxide powders have been successfully prepared by a molten salt synthesis using eutectic mixture of LiCl and MnO2 salt at 900 °C. The synthesis was performed in open atmosphere. The crystalline powders were characterized for their phase identification using X-ray diffraction analysis. The physicochemical properties of the lithium manganese oxide powders are investigated by thermal analysis (thermo gravimetric analysis/ differential thermal analysis), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, atomic absorption spectroscopy, electron spin resonance spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy. This work shows the feasibility for obtaining lithium manganese oxide at lowtemperature molten salt flux method.
