Lithium transportation across the interface of LiMn2O4/LiPF6-based electrolyte was studied by Li-6/7 solid-state NMR with Li-6-enriched LiPF6. For almost stoichiometric LiMn2O4, we show that exchange of lithium ions occurs across an electrolyte/electrode interface just by immersing LiMn2O4 powder into LiPF6-based electrolyte, while such transportation is suppressed in Li-excess LiMn2O4. The exchange was approximated by the 1st-order reaction, and the rate was estimated from the Li-6/Li-7 intensities to be 0.024 min(-1) at room temperature. The lithium ions penetrated into the surface of a LiMn2O4 particle reach to the core with a time scale of a few hours at room temperature. The suppression of the exchange in Li-excess LiMn2O4 was ascribed to the presence of excess amount of Mn4+. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
