We investigated the charge/discharge properties, valence states, and structural properties of a nanoporous cathode material Li Mn[Fe(CN) ] · 3.5H O. The film-type electrode of Li Mn[Fe(CN) ] · 3.5H O exhibited a high charge capacity (= x 6 0.83 2 x 6 0.83 2 128 mAh g−1) and a good cyclability (87% of the initial value after 100 cycles) and is one of the promising candidates for Li- ion battery cathode. X-ray absorption spectra near the Fe and Mn K-edges revealed that the charge/discharge process is a two- II II II III III III electron reaction; that is, Mn –NC–Fe , Mn –NC–Fe , and Mn –NC–Fe . We
