Abstract: xLi₂MnO₃·(1-x)Li(Ni_1/3Co_1/3Mn_1/3)O₂ (x=0.25, 0.40, 0.55) compounds were prepared by low-heating solid state reaction. In the voltage range of 2.70-4.35 V, the discharge capacity of the electrode decreased with the increase of x, with a better cyclability. However, when cycled between 2.7 and 4.6 V, the cathodes delivered much larger capacities and their capacities increased with the introduction of Li₂MnO₃. Moreover, it was found that the discharge capacity gradually increased with the cycle number. The reason for this phenomenon was discussed. It was found that the relatively low cut-off potential made the activation of the Li₂MnO₃ component in the compound a gradual process, which caused the increasing capacity.
