Abstract
We report on the vibrational properties of spinel LiMn2O4 and its electrochemically delithiated forms LixMn2O4. Raman scattering and infrared absorption spectra have been studied as a function of the delithiation content in the wavenumber range 50–700 cm−1. Results show that lithium ions can be extracted at room temperature to obtain Lix[Mn2]O4 (0.3≤x≤1.0) without disrupting the [Mn2]O4 array. The normal modes of the spinel LiMn2O4 have been discussed in the O 7h symmetry and vibrations due to lithium ions with their oxygen neighbors have been identified at ca. 400 cm−1.
