Li-ion battery cathode preparation procedure included MnO2 modification by Li-salts with subsequent heat treatment.
Li4Mn5O12, Li2MnO3, and Li-rich phases form active nanocomposite cathode.
Heat treatment mode is of crucial importance for rechargeability.
Cathode material capacity is 150 mA h g−1 within 2.5–4.5 V.
