`
`Introduction
`
`Layered compounds such as LiCo02 (I)
`and LiNi0 2 (2) are of interest as insertion
`electrodes for rechargeable lithium cells be(cid:173)
`cause lithium can be extracted from andre(cid:173)
`introduced into their structures with a con(cid:173)
`comitant change in I he oxidation slate of the
`lransition-mctul cation. Although an iso(cid:173)
`structural LiMn02 compound is not known,
`a recent report has indicated that it might
`be possible to synthesize related layered
`Li,.(MntLi 1_z)02 structures (0 s: y < 1,
`0.67 < z :s; 1) by leaching Li20 from the
`rock-salt phase Li 2Mn03 (3). In this commu(cid:173)
`nication the synthesis and structural fea(cid:173)

`0.91) compound and its lithiatcd derivative

`z = 0.91) al'e reported.
`
`at 400°C in air by reacting electrolytic man(cid:173)
`ganese dioxide (EMD) with a stoichiometric
`quantity of Li 2CO) for 2 weeks. A long
`reaction time was required to obtain a
`single-phase product at this temperature.
`Single-phase Li0.36Mn0 .910 2 was prepared by
`digesting Li2 Mn0~ in 2.25 M H2S04 at 25°C
`for M hr. The sample was hcutcd at IOU°C
`for 24 hr to remove Slllfacc water. A H+(cid:173)
`ion analysis of the heated sample showed
`that Li0.36Mn0.910 2 contained a small amount
`of residual occluded water associated with
`grain boundaries and possibly some ion(cid:173)
`exchanged protons within the structure
`(LH +] = 0.5% by mass). It has not been
`possible as yet to obtain anhydrous materi(cid:173)
`als because of their thermal instability at
`higher
`temperatures. Nevertheless,
`the
`presence of the occluded water did not pre(cid:173)
`vent the structure analysis of the lithium(cid:173)
`manganese-oxide component.
`Samples were analyzed for lithium and
`Experimental
`manganese by atomic absorption spectros(cid:173)
`copy to determine the Li: Mn ratio in the
`Li2Mn03 , or alternatively, Li(Mn0,t\7
`Li0•33)02 (y "" I, z = 0.67), was prepared
`compounds. Liu19Mn0.910 2 was synthesized

`
`Results and Discussion
`
`The powder X-ray diffraction patterns of
`Li2Mn03, Li0,36Mn0.9P 2 , and Liu19Mn0_91 02
`are shown in Figs. la-lc. The pattern of
`Li0.36Mn0_91 0 2 (Fig. 1 b) differs significantly
`from that of the parent Li2Mn03 (Fig. ta) in
`both peak positions and peak intensities; the
`pattern is also significantly different from
`that of well-known layered birnessite com(cid:173)
`pounds which have a hexagonally close(cid:173)
`packed oxygen array (4). Li2Mn03 has a
`rock-salt-type structure in which the oxy(cid:173)
`gen-ion array is slightly distorted from cubic
`close packing and in which layers of Li +
`
`ions alternate with layers containing Mn4+
`ions and Li+ ions in a 2: 1 ratio (5). Al(cid:173)
`though the lack of high quality X-ray data
`and the small number of strong reflections
`prevented satisfactory structural refine(cid:173)
`ments using the monoclinic symmetry (C2/
`c) of the parent Li2Mn03 compound, the
`gross structural features of Li0.36Mn0.9P 2
`and Li1.09Mn0.91 0 2 were obtained by profile
`refinement of their X-ray patterns (Figs. Jb
`and lc, respectively) using the higher sym(cid:173)
`metry space group R3m that characterizes
`the layered LiCo02 and LiNi02 structures.

`2. The manganese ions remain in alternate
`layers and do not migrate to the lithium lay(cid:173)
`ers during the leaching process. The u+(cid:173)
`ion positions could not be located because
`of the weak scattering power of lithium; it
`was presumed that they resided in the small
`fraction of octahedral sites that were not
`occupied by manganese, and partially occu(cid:173)
