Physical characteristics and electrochemical performance of nanostructured LiMn2-xTixO4 cathode material / Nur Farhana Yahya

Spinel compounds are being investigated extensively due to their promising properties in replacing the commercially used layered cathode material. This is due to its abundance, less toxic nature and low-cost production. However, spinel compound, LiMn2O4 is unstable and suffer from severe capacity...
