A pre-fatigue training strategy to stabilize LiCoO2 at high voltage

Layered cathodes are among the most promising cathodes for high-energy-density Li-ion batteries, yet hindered by the structural degradation from both bulk strain and surface oxygen loss at high voltage (above 4.5 V). Herein, we report a pre-fatigue trainin ...

Fast and Durable Lithium Storage Enabled by Tuning Entropy in Wadsley-Roth Phase Titanium Niobium Oxides

Yuehui Li, Rui Xia, Kangning Zhao, Liping Zhong

Wadsley-Roth phase titanium niobium oxides have received considerable interest as anodes for lithium ion batteries. However, the volume expansion and sluggish ion/electron transport kinetics retard its application in grid scale. Here, fast and durable lith ...
