“…Among the many rechargeable battery materials, the layered oxide family of LiMeO 2 (Me = Ni, Co, Mn, and their mixtures) has been widely studied. These oxides yield high specific energy and/or power, and structural and thermal stability, as well as long cycling life (Hwang et al, 2003;Hu et al, 2009;Huang et al, 2011;Park et al, 2012;Liao et al, 2016;Berckmans et al, 2017), but they still suffer from poor rate capability, especially at high C-rates (Chen et al, 2016b). Spinel Li(Mn,Ni) 2 O 4 (LMN) is of great interest due to its high working voltage and high energy density, relatively low cost and environmentally benign.…”
