Li1.16Mn1.84O4 nanoparticles (50–90 nm) with cubic spinel structure are synthesized by combining a microemulsion process to produce ultrafine Mn(OH)2 nanocrystals (3–8 nm) with a solid-state lithiation step. The nanostructured lithium-rich Li1.16Mn1.84O4 shows stable cycling performance and superior...
