Abstract

Sol-gel derived amorphous manganese dioxide (a-MnO2) showed extremely high reversible lithium intercalation capacity. The composition and structure of the material were modified by heating at different temperatures. Cycling performance of the modified samples suggests that lowering the water content in the material is beneficial, while introducing crystallinity is detrimental, to its cyclability. A novel double-solvent-exchange process was tried for the processing of the material. Preliminary results indicated significant improvement in the reversibility of the insertion/release cycles.
