Abstract

A method of synthesizing a lithium manganese oxide in accordance with the formula Li1-x Mn2 O4 in which 0ࣘx<1 and having a spinel-type crystal structure includes forming a mixture in finely divided solid form of at least one lithium salt such as Li2 CO3 which decomposes when heated in air to form an oxide of lithium, and at least one manganese salt such as MnCO3 which decomposes when heated in air to form an oxide of manganese. The mixture is heated in an oxidizing atmosphere to a temperature in the range 200°-600° C. to decompose the salts and to obtain the Li1-x Mn2 O4 having a spinel-type crystal structure.
