Superior lithium storage in Li2MnSiO4 cathodes was observed by altering carbon content during the formulation of electrodes. Initially, Li2MnSiO4 was prepared by a conventional solid-state reaction at 900 °C under Ar flow with a fixed amount of adipic acid, which acts as a gelating agent during synt...
