Al doping into LiMn2O4 is one of the well-known methods to improve the cycle performance of the LiMn2O4 cathode. We carried out soft X-ray emission spectroscopy (XES) for LiMn2O4 and LiAl0.2Mn1.8O4 to elucidate the relationship between the Mn 3d electronic structures and cycle performances. After the first cycle, the XES spectra of LiAl0.2Mn1.8O4 are almost unchanged compared to the initial state. In contrast, charge-transfer excitation for the XES of LiMn2O4 is significantly reduced, indicating that the Mn 3d-O 2p hybridization in LiMn2O4 should be easily weakened by charge–discharge. In LiAl0.2Mn1.8O4, the Mn–O bond becomes more stable due to the decrease of Mn3+ ions with Jahn–Teller distortion by Al3+ doping, resulting in the improved cycle performance.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
