Lil.03Co0.10MnL90FxO4-x （z=0, 0.05, 0.10, 0.15 and 0.20） cathode materials were synthesized by solid-state reaction using Mn203, Li2CO3, C0203 and LiF as raw materials. The chemical compositions of Lil.03COo.lMnl.9FzO4-z were examined by inductively coupled plasma （ICP） and potentiometric analysis, the effects of F-substitution contents on structure, morphology and electrochemical performance of spinel Lil.03Coo.loMnl.9004 were studied by X-ray diffraction （XRD）, scanning electron microscopy （SEM） and electrochemical measurements. It is found that the Lix.03 Co0.10Mnl.9oFzOa_z samples display a single phase of cubic spinel structure. The lattice parameters increase with the increase of F content when z〈_0.10. However, the lattice parameters begin to decrease when F content continues to increase. The results show that an appropriate amount ofF substitution for O element with Li＋, Co3＋ improves discharge capacity and structure stability of the materials. The Lil.03Co0.10Mnl.90FoAsO3.s5 sample shows an initial discharge capacity of 111.0 mA.h/g and has capacity retention of 97.0% after 30 cycles at 0.2C.
