Plasma-enhanced low-temperature solid-state synthesis of spinel LiMn 2 O 4 with superior performance for lithium-ion batteries

In this work, for the first time, we develop a plasma-enhanced low-temperature solid-state strategy to prepare LiMn 2 O 4 with low energy consumption and superior performance for Li-ion batteries. The as-prepared LiMn 2 O 4 shows a narrow particle size distribution in the range of 400–450 nm and smaller mean particle size.
