Abstract:
Local crystal structures associated with nanoscale variations of the concentration ratio of Fe ions to Mn ions in each single Li1.2Mn0.4Fe0.4O2 particle have been studied by nanobeam electron diffraction, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, and electron energy-loss spectroscopy combined with scanning transmission electron microscopy. We have found the direct evidence that the Li1.2Mn0.4Fe0.4O2 particle is comprised of Mn-rich nanodomains with the layered rocksalt structure and Fe-rich nanodomains with the cubic rocksalt structure featured by the cation short-range order, within a common oxygen lattice framework of the cubic close-packed structure. Possible oxygen-centered octahedra in the present material are suggested. We discuss both origin and stability of the chemical-nanodomain structure.
