Porous and spherical Li2MnSiO4 nanoparticles have been synthesized through a facile sol-gel route via a mesoporous silica template. Galvanostatic charge-discharge of the resultant Li2MnSiO4 cathode exhibits enhanced charge-discharge capacity relative to that of particles prepared by the conventional sol-gel process, up to 25% in discharge capacity, even without any particulate process such as milling with conductive agents. The standout electrochemical performance could be attributed to the unique high surface-to-volume ratio, porous geometry and improved accommodation of transformation strains during the electrochemical lithiation-delithiation process.

High theoretical capacity, high thermal stability, the low cost of production, abundance, and environmental friendliness are among the potential attractiveness of LiMnSiO as a positive electrode (cathode) material for rechargeable lithium-ion batteries. However, the experimental results indicated poor electrochemical performance in its bulk phase due to high intrinsic charge transfer resistance and capacity fading during cycling, which limit its large-scale commercial applications. Herein, we explore the surface stability and various lithium-ion diffusion pathways of LiMnSiO surfaces using the density functional theory (DFT) framework.

Synthesis of pure single-phase LiMnSiO is challenging because of its rich polymorphism. Here, we demonstrate our success in preparing crystalline pure, battery-grade monoclinic phase LiMnSiO (LMS) employing the temperature-programmed reaction technique. Systematic analysis of the electrochemical behavior of LiMnSiO reveals its excellent battery activity in the monoclinic phase, with an initial discharge capacity of ∼250 mAh g associated with the reversible intercalation of more than one Li.

Emerging power batteries with both high volumetric energy density and fast charge/discharge kinetics are required for electric vehicles. The rapid ion/electron transport of mesostructured electrodes enables a high electrochemical activity in secondary batteries. However, the typical low fraction of active materials leads to a low volumetric energy density.

The discovery of anion redox activity is promising for boosting the capacity of lithium ion battery (LIB) cathodes. However, fundamental understanding of the mechanisms that trigger the anionic redox is still lacking. Here, using hybrid density functional study combined with experimental soft X-ray absorption spectroscopy (sXAS) measurements, we unambiguously proved that LiFeSiO performs sequent cationic and anionic redox activity through delithiation.
