Development of positive electrode materials for the high rate lithium ion battery by nanostructure control

Previously, we reported the fabrication of Na_0.44MnO₂ and LiMn₂O₄ single crystalline nanowire structure. Moreover, these electrodes showed good high rate property as lithium ion battery, because the nanostructure electrode is suitable for high rate lithium ion battery. Especially, the fabrication of LiMn₂O₄ single crystalline nanowire was very interesting results because the synthesis of 1-dimesional single crystal structure of LiMn₂O₄ is very difficult based on cubic crystal structure without anisotropic structure. The LiMn₂O₄ single crystalline nanowire was obtained thorough the self template method using Na_0.44MnO₂ nanowire. In this paper, we report the fabrication of Na_0.44MnO₂ and LiMn₂O₄ single crystalline nanowire structure and the property of lithium ion battery as review paper.
