The Li+ion-exchange reaction of K+-type α-K0.14MnO1.93·0.18H2O and its Co-doped α-K0.14(Mn0.85Co0.15)O1.96·0.21H2O with a large (2×2) tunnel structure has been investigated in a LiNO3/LiCl molten salt at 300°C. The Li+ion-exchanged products were examined by chemical analysis, X-ray diffraction, and scanning and transmission electron microscopic measurements. Almost all the K+ions and the hydrogens of water molecules in the (2×2) tunnel of α-MnO2and its Co-doped one were exchanged by Li+ions in the molten salt, resulting in Li+-type α-MnO2and its Co-doped one containing Li+ions as well as Li2O (lithium oxide) in the (2×2) tunnel with maintaining the original hollandite structure. The electrochemical properties including charge–discharge cycling of the Li+ion-exchanged α-MnO2and its Co-doped samples have been investigated as insertion compounds in the search for new cathode materials for rechargeable lithium batteries. The Li+ion-exchanged α-MnO2and its Co-doped samples provided higher capacities than the K+-type parent materials on initial discharge and charge–discharge cyclings, probably due to the structural stabilization with the existence of Li2O in the (2×2) tunnels.
