New Nickel–Cobalt–Manganese Spinels

Three types of solid solutions of new nickel–cobalt–manganese spinels were synthesized by substitution for manganese cations in oxide Mn3O4: Ni(1 – x)Mn(2 + x)O4, Ni(1 – x)Co(1 – x)Mn(1 + 2x)O4, and Ni(1 – 2x)Co(0.5 – x)Mn(1.5 + 3x)О4. Complex oxides have been produced by solution combustion synthesis. The produced spinels expand the range of materials suitable for using as anodes of lithium-ion batteries.
