Abstract :
The electronic property and structural stability of LiMn2O4 and LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 with Fd 3 ¯ m space group are investigated by density functional theory (DFT) plane-wave pseudopotential method. The calculated values of Mn(Ni)–O bond lengths are found to be consistent with the reported experimental values. Due to the Ni doping, the significant shortening of Mn(Ni)–O bond strengthens the structural stability of spinel. The electronic properties of spinel show that the bonding between O and metal (Mn and Ni) is also strengthened due to the Ni doping, and then it improves the structural stability of LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4. Ni-doped spinel has a lower formation enthalpy than that of the pristine, indicating that the Ni doping improves the structural stability of spinel.
