Spectroscopic and electrochemical exploration of carbon-infused intercalation-type spinel composite for aqueous systems. Frontiers in Chemistry, 10, 890291. https://doi.org/10.3389/fchem.2022.8902912296-2646https://doi.org/10.3389/fchem.2022.890291http://hdl.handle.net/10566/7731Lithium-manganese-based compounds are promising intercalation host materials for aqueous battery systems due to their synergy with high ionic conductive aqueous electrolytes, safety, eco-friendliness, and low cost. Yet, due to poor electrical conductivity and trapping of diffused electrolyte cations within its crystal formation, achieving optimum cycle stability and rate capability remains a challenge. This unfortunately limits their use in modern day high-powered devices, which require quality output with high reliability. Here, the authors propose a facile method to produce LiMn2O4 and LiFe0.5Mn0.5PO4 and compare their structural stability and corresponding electrochemical performance by controlling the interfacial layer through multi-walled carbon nanotubes’ (MWCNTs) infusion.enAqueous systemSpectroscopyElectrochemistryPhysicsLithiumArticle
