Li-ion batteries have a huge potential for use in electrification of the transportation sector. The major challenge to be met...

The electrochemical reduction mechanism of Mn in LiMn2O4 molten salt was studied. results show that the NaCl-CaCl2 salt, process reducing from (IV) to manganese is: (IV)→Mn (III)→Mn (II)→Mn. reacts with form CaMn2O4 after being placed for 1 h. reaction is divided into two steps: constant voltage deoxidation experiments under different conditions intermediate products are CaMn2O4, MnO, and (MnO)...

Poor cycling performance for many high voltage lithium ion batteries (LIB) has been attributed to damage of the anode solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) resulting from crossover reactions. Transition-metal proposed as a primary source SEI and capacity loss, especially high-voltage spinel cathodes. However, deposition transition metals on may not be degradation. This investigation focuses oxidat...
