Abstract
Stability of a cathode material was determined by Tafel plot in 1 M LiOH solution. The stabilized $LiM_xMn_{2-x}O_4$ (x=0.05~0.1) electrode resulted in overpotential of 0.13~0.15 mV at 100 mA. This overpotential was 0.05 mV lower than that of the spinel structured $LiMn_2O_4$ electrode. Conductivity test at various potentials showed that the conductivity of $LiM_xMn_{2-x}O_4$ was higher than that of the spinel structured $LiMn_2O_4$ and the bulk resistance of $LiM_xMn_{2-x}O_4$ due to the dissolution of $Mn^{2+}$ was lowered.
수용액계에서 정극활물질의 안정성을 1 M LiOH 용액에서 Tafel plot를 통해서 측정하였으며, 이 때 $LiM_xMn_{2-x}O_4$(x=0.05~0.1) 전극은 100 mA에서 0.13~0.15 mV의 과전압으로 $LiMn_2O_4$ 전극보다 0.05 mV가 낮은 과전압을 나타냈다. 또한 전위변화에 따른 전해질의 전도도는 $LiM_xMn_{2-x}O_4$가 스피넬 구조의 $LiMn_2O_4$보다 높고 나타났으며, $Mn^{+2}$의 용해에 의한 용액저항은 상대적으로 낮게 나타났다.
