Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy study of the LixMn2O4 interface with natural brine
The LiMn2O4-Polypyrrole electrochemical cell has been shown to extract LiCl from natural brine at low voltage with high selectivity, low energy consumption (5-10 Wh.mol(-1)) and good stability. The intercalation/de-in-tercalation of Li+ ions in LixMn2O4 (0 <= x <= 1) has been studied by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) at different potentials and lithium ion concentrations using a modified Randles equivalent electrical circuit for the interface of LixMn2O4 in natural brine from Salar de Olaroz (Jujuy, Argentina). The R-CT exhibits two minima at potentials which correspond to x = 0.25 and x = 0.75 (half filled adsorption sites) respectively and a linear lithium ion concentration dependence of (Li+)(-0.5) consistent with a lithium ion transfer adsorption model proposed by Bruce.
