(composition: Li 1.2 Mn 0.53 Ni 0.13 Co 0.13 O 2) was prepared using hollow MnO 2 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 …
