Abstract :
Li2MnO3 with different nanostructures was synthesized through a solid-state reaction. MnOOH nanorods and nanowires prepared via the hydrothermal method were used as precursors, respectively, to react with Li(OH)·H2O to prepare nanostructured Li2MnO3 in the temperature range from 500 to 800 °C. The samples were characterized by XRD, TEM, ESR and FTIR results. Based on the experimental results, the dehydration–oxidation-combination (DOC) formation mechanism of Li2MnO3 was proposed.
