ABSTRACTThe layered structure LixTiS2 and LixCoO2 are excellent reversible cathodes for lithium batteries. However, layered lithium manganese oxides are metastable relative to the spinel form on cycling in lithium batteries. They may be stabilized in the layer form by insertion of larger ions such as potassium in the interlayer region, which minimizes the diffusion of the manganese ions from the MnO2 blocks. Their low conductivity is an impediment to their use in high rate batteries. Cobalt can be doped into the layered alkali manganese dioxides, MxMn1-yCoyO2 for M = K or Na, during the hydrothermal synthesis from the alkali permanganates. A single phase is obtained up to about 5% mole cobalt. The cobalt doping is found to enhance the conductivity by two orders of magnitude relative to pure KxMnO2.

ABSTRACTOxo ions (MO4)n- (M = V, Cr, Mn and Mo) have been reduced in aqueous solutions with potassium borohydride to obtain the binary oxides MO2+δ. While the vanadium and manganese oxides are nanocrystalline, the chromium and molybdenum oxides are amorphous. The nanocrystalline VO2 having a metastable structure and the amorphous CrO2 and MoO2.3 transform to the thermodynamically more stable phases upon heating above 300–400 °C. These metastable oxides after heating in vacuum at 200–300 °C to remove water show good electrode performance in lithium cells. VO2, CrO2 and MoO2.3 show a reversible capacity of, respectively, 290 mAh/g in the range 4–1.5 V, 180 mAh/g in the range 3.3–2.3 V, and 220 mAh/g in the range 3–1 V. MnO2 obtained by this process does not show good electrode properties.
