Thus, MA can be successfully used for preparation of LiMn_2O_4, LiCoO_2, Li_(1+x)V_3O_8, as well as other cathode and anode oxide materials and oxide electrolytes for rechargeable lithium batteries. The mechanochemical reactions are characterized by specific features of mixing of the components and of the following interaction. The materials as prepared are characterized by high dispersion, structural disordering and different electronic state of transition metal ions. Using suitable initial reagents, MA allows to simplify the synthesis of materials with a multicomponent composition (e.g., substituted LiMn_2O_4, La-Li-Ti-O solid solutions, etc.). Compared with conventional solid state process, the method of MA appeared to accelerate and to simplify the process of synthesis and to decrease the energy expenses and the cost of the material.
