Li2MnSiO4 is synthesized by solid state reaction method under the optimized conditions of 900oC in Ar atmosphere. Here, adipic acid is used as the source material for carbon. Powder X-ray diffraction measurements confirm the Li2MnSiO4 phase formation. The Li/Li2MnSiO4 cell delivers initial discharge...
