“…The spinel structured lithium manganese oxide nanomaterials: LiMn 2 − x M x O 4 , where M = Ni, Fe and 0.1 x 0.5 (corresponding to nominal Mn:Fe or Mn:Ni composition ratios of 1.9:0.1, 1.8:0.2, 1.7:0.3, 1.6:0.4 and 1.5:0.5, respectively) were synthesized by a simple, low cost, modified sol-gel method [5,6,[42][43][44][45] , 99.5 % CHEMPUR) acids were added as complexing agents. Finally, the solution was evaporated until a gel was formed, which was further dried for a few hours at 150°C.…”
