Co-doped orthorhombic LiMnO 2 powders were synthesized by the hydrothermal treatment of tetragonal (Co x Mn 1-x ) 3 O 4 as a precursor with aqueous lithium hydroxide solution at 170°C, The X-ray diffraction and chemical analyses of the hydrothermal products confirmed a well-ordered stoichiometric orthorhombic structure (LiCo x Mn 1-x O 2 , Pmnm) with the wide substitution range of 0 ≤ x ≤ 0.14. The prepared powders were single-crystallite particle oxides, and the layer structure of about 5.7 A spacing for LiCo 0.14 Mn 0.86 O 2 was directly observed by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. The Co doping of x = 0.1 in LiCo x Mn 1-x O 2 was effective in improving the cycling performance as a Li-ion battery cathode substantially. The Co substitution in Mn sites of o-LiMnO 2 was not only to improve the structural integrity, but also to enhance high capacity retention upon extensive cycling. This new hydrothermal synthesis is expected to be an excellent alternative powder preparation method of high-capacity cathode materials to be used for Li-ion secondary batteries.
