2005 Electrodes F 3000 Cathode Properties of Nanocrystalline Manganese Oxide Synthesized Through Soft Solution Processing. — Nanosized manganese oxide materials containing Zn are synthesized by precipitation from H2O/EtOH solutions of KMnO4 and Zn(NO3)2 (room temperature, 3 h). The samples are characterized by powder XRD, TEM, and XPS. The addition of Zn to the MnO2 material improves the electrochemical properties. The cath- ode materials prepared with optimized Zn concentration and pH show a specific capac- ity of 100 mAh/g with a good cyclability between 1.5 and 3.9 V vs Li/Li + . The opti- mized material includes Zn at a molar ratio of Zn/Mn of 0.047 and has ε-phase-like structure. — (WATANABE, T.; ZHOU, H.; HONMA, I.; J. Electrochem.
