Li₂MnO₃ is known to be electrochemically inactive due to Mn in tetravalent oxidation state. Several compositions such as Li₂MnO₃ , Li_1.5Al_0.17MnO₃, Li_1.0Al_0.33MnO₃ and Li_0.5Al_0.5MnO₃ were synthesized by a sol–gel Pechini method. All the samples were characterized with x-ray diffraction, Raman, x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, Tap density and BET analyzer. X-ray diffraction patterns indicated the presence of monoclinic phase for pristine Li₂MnO₃and mixed monoclinic/spinel phases (Li_{2 - x}Mn_{1 - y}Al_{x + y}O_{3 + z}) for Al-substituted Li₂MnO₃compounds. The Al substitution seems to occur both at Li and Mn sites, which could explain the presence of spinel phase. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy for Mn 2p orbital reveals a significant decrease in binding energy for Li_1.0Al_0.33MnO₃ and Li_0.5Al_0.5MnO₃ compounds. Cyclic voltammetry, charge/discharge cycles and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy were also performed. A discharge capacity of 24 mAh g^-1 for Li₂MnO₃, 68 mAh g^-1 for Li_1.5Al_0.17MnO₃, 58 mAh g^-1 for Li_1.0Al_0.33MnO₃ and 74 mAh g^-1 for Li_0.5Al_0.5MnO₃ were obtained. As a result, aluminum substitutions increased the formation of spinel phase which is responsible for cycling.
