The composition, structure and micro-morphology, the electrochemical properties and the optimization of its charge/discharge performance were studied. The interstitial multi-metallic cations in tunnels and interlayers, such as Mg 2+ ,Ni 2+ ,Co 2+ ,Ca 2+ ,Cu 2+ ,etc.,and the lattice water contributed to equalization of chemical valence and structural stabilization of manganese nodule.The results show that the electrochemical properties of manganese nodule are attributed to Todorokite and Vernadite. In a appropriate electrolyte, such as LiClO 4/PC+DME, and the electrolyte of avoiding over-intercalating, the lattice water may not be harmful to the electrochemical performance. The Li insertion and extraction potentials of manganese nodule are about 2.6 V and 3 V, respectively. The cyclic voltammetry curves show that the broad current peaks reflect the characteristics of amorphous state of manganese nodule. Manganese nodule shows a good reversible discharge capacity (101 mAh·g -1 , 85% of the highest discharge capacity) at about 2.5-4.1 V after more than 200 cycles in 1mol/L LiClO 4/PC+DME. It is proved that manganese nodule is a promising novel natural cathode material for lithium ion batteries.中国大洋矿产资源研究开发资助课题! (DY 95 0 4 0 6
