    We report the paper related to the effect of Fe doping on the Li2FexMn1?xSiO4 (x = 0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5) cathode materials synthesized by Sol-Gel technique. X-Ray Diffraction evidences the monoclinic structure with space group Pn(7) and crystal size decreases from 43 to 35�nm on doping Fe in Li2MnSiO4. Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) confirms that particle size reduces from 60 to 21�nm with increase of Fe concentration. The impedance analysis shows that highest electrical conductivity was 4.5 � 10�5 Scm?1 for Li2Fe0.4Mn0.6SiO4 cathode material. The initial specific capacity was 152 mAhg?1 at the rate of 0.1 C and 131 mAhg?1 after the 50th cycle with 86% capacity retention. The doping of Fe enhanced the conductivity by reducing its charge transfer resistance and increasing Li-ion diffusion coefficient than the pure Li2MnSiO4 cathode material. � 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.
