Abstract: A novel process was used to synthesize LiMn2O4 with spherical particles from cheap materials of MnSO4, NH4HCO3, NH3·H2O and LiCO3. The preparation started with a carefully controlled crystallization of MnCO3. Thermal decomposition of MnCO3 was investigated by both DTA & TG analysis and X-ray diffractrometry. The spherical Mn2O3 is obtained by heating MnCO3 at 560℃ for 4 h, then is mixed with LiCoO3 and sintered at 750℃ to produce spherical LiMn2O4. Its initial charge/discharge capacities are 131 and 125 mA·h/g, respectively, and its cycling capacity retention is 84% at the 90th cycle.
