Credit: ACSAn international team led by Dr. Yi Cui at Stanford University has produced free-standing single-crystalline LiMn2O4 nanorods that, when used as a cathode material in Li-ion batteries, show a high charge storage capacity at high power rates compared with commercially available manganese spinel powders. A paper on their work was published online today in the ACS journal Nano Letters. Lithium manganese spinel (LiMn2O4) is one of the current main cathode materials used and under development for Li-ion batterie...
