In this paper, we present exsitu observations of a structure of particular Li2MnSiO4 grains at different states of charge (SOC). The goal of these studies is structural analysis of Li2MnSiO4 cathode material for Li-ion batteries at different stages of electrochemical reaction using transmission electron microscopy. Performed analysis suggests that amorphization process of Li2MnSiO4 is not directly connected with lithium ions deintercalation but with additional electrochemical reactions running in the working cell.
