Abstract
We studied relation of X-ray diffraction and charge/discharge capacity of LiMn$_2$O$_4$ cathode. LiMn$_2$O$_4$ is prepared by reacting stoichiometric mixture of LiOH.$H_2O$ and MnO$_2$ (mole ratio 1 : 2) and heating at $700^{\circ}C$, 80$0^{\circ}C$ for 24hr, 36hr, 48hr, 60hr and 72hr. Through X-ray diffraction pattern, it is analyzed that crystal structure and lattice parameter and peak ratio so on. We obtained X-ray diffraction pattern that varied lattice parameter and peak intensity by function of calcining temperature and time. Cathode active materials calcined at 80$0^{\circ}C$ for 36hr shown that (111)/(311) Peak ratio at X-ray diffraction pattern was 0.37. It means that crystal structure is formed very well in this temperature and time. In the result of charge/discharge test, cathode active material calcined at 80$0^{\circ}C$ for 36hr displayed excellent charge/discharge properties than that of cathode active materials calcined at other temperature and title. In this study, we certified that spinel structure basied cubic is formed very well at 80$0^{\circ}C$ for 36hr. In this case, (111)/(311) peak ratio at X-ray diffraction is 0.37, and charge/discharge properties is excellent than others.
