on lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). One of the promising approaches to the optimization of their properties is in the development of new blended composite electrode materials consisting of two (or more) active components in order to use the advantages of the both of them [1]. Due to a unique combination of properties, the mixed materials show some advantages over the individual components. This includes the longer lifetime, the decreased capacity fading upon the cycling, lower price, the improved thermal stability, more acceptable profiles of charge-discharge curves and operating voltage, etc. For instance, the cathode materials with a layered structure (LiCoO 2 ) have a high Coulomb capacity and good electrochemical properties, but are expensive and thermally unstable. On the contrary, cathode materials with a spinel structure (LiMn 2 O 4 ) are characterized by high thermal stability and good cycleability, but show lower capacity. Mixing these two cathode materials minimizes their disadvantages, and the composite material is characterized by high energy or power, along with higher stability and lower price.In the present work, we formulate the new approaches to the development of novel composite electrode materials for LIB, using the mechanical activation method (MA). MA with high-energy mechanoactivators is a modern energy-and eco-efficient method of fine grinding, mixing, and activation of solid reagents and is widely used to prepare different functional materials [2,3]. As an example, we report the results of studying the synthesis, structure, morphology, and electrochemical properties of the composite cathode materials prepared by different procedures: 1) joint MA of two individual cathode materials (the LiCoO 2 /LiMn 2 O 4 composites); 2) direct mechanochemically assisted solid state synthesis starting from a multicomponent mixture of reagents (LiFePO 4 /Li 3 V 2 (PO 4 ) 3 composites); 3) synthesis via heatinduced partial decomposition of a single-phase nanosized cathode material, prepared by MA,
