The phase diagrams obtained here offer significant insight into the compositions at
which layered–layered phase separation might occur and under which conditions.
This work, therefore, helps resolve this issue VI.
Recent work, again on the lithium-rich layered oxide Li 1.2 Ni 0.2 Mn 0.6 O 2 , has suggested that as much as 25 % of the manganese is in the 3 + oxidation state based
primarily on the fact that the magnetic moment was lower than that expected if all
manganese is in the 4 + state [48]. This result is unexpected since research shows
that manganese is typically synthesized in the 4 + state in the lithium-rich layered
