A porous, hollow, microspherical composite of Li<sub>2sub>MnO<sub>3sub> and LiMn<sub>1/3sub>Co<sub>1/3sub>Ni<sub>1/3sub>O<sub>2sub> (composition: Li<sub>1.2sub>Mn<sub>0.53sub>Ni<sub>0.13sub>Co<sub>0.13sub>O<sub>2sub>) was prepared using hollow MnO<sub>2sub> as the sacrificial template. The resulting composite was found to be mesoporous; its pores were about 20 nm in diameter. It also delivered a reversible discharge capacity value of 220 mAh g−1 at a specific current of 25 mA g−1 with excellent cycling stability and a high rate capability. A discharge capacity of 100 mAh g−1 was obtained for this composite at a specific current of 1000 mA g−1. The high rate capability of this hollow microspherical composite can be attributed to its porous nature.
