Stoichiometric LiMn2O4 was prepared by the Pechini method and heat-treated at temperatures between 600 and 800°C for 8h. Crystalline structures and the electrochemical properties of the prepared samples were investigated. The sample heat-treated at 600°C shows a trace amount of Mn2O3 with predominant spinel, whereas those prepared at temperatures between 700 and 800°C show exclusively spinel with similar lattice constants. The crystallinity index calculated from the (111) peak of XRD pattern increases with increasing heat-treatment temperature. All of the prepared samples show similar capacity fading rate. On the same cycle number, the specific capacity increases with increasing temperature of heat-treatment. It is found that samples with similar lattice constant exhibit similar specific discharging capacity on the same cycle number and similar fading rate at the high voltage plateau. The crystallinity index and the initial specific discharge capacity on the low-voltage plateau increase with increasing heat-treatment temperature.
