Layered Mn-based series Li[Li_x(MnM)_(1- x)]O_2( M = Ni,Co,Cr,…) due to its much higher capacity is one of the very promising candidates of cathodes,which has become a research hotspot recently and attracted more and more attention. Especially,with the aid of advanced characterization techniques including in-situ analysis,studies on the complex structure and high-capacity delivering mechanism of the series have achieved significant progress. In the paper,the structural characterization and charge-discharge behavior of the high-energy density layered cathode were briefly introduced. Study progresses on the voltage degradation,interface / surface variation during cycling and performance improvements of Li[Li_x(MnM)_(1- x)]O_2 were reviewed in detail particularly in view of its exiting issues.Furthermore,the challenges and prospects in the high-energy density layered cathode materials were also discussed herein.
