Summary: | Abstract
Layered Mn‐based oxides are promising candidates for next‐generation high‐energy‐density cathodes of rechargeable batteries owing to their prominent energy density and cost‐effectiveness. However, the obvious structural degradation such as the layered‐to‐spinel transformation, associating with deteriorated electrochemical cycle stability, hinder their extensive applications in batteries. Herein, a composite structure is designed based on a Mn‐based oxide of LiMn
