Abstract A practical solution is presented to increase the stability of 4.45 V LiCoO 2 via high‐temperature Ni doping, without adding any extra synthesis step or cost. How a putative uniform bulk doping with highly soluble elements can profoundly modify surface chemistry and structural identified from systematic chemical microstructural analyses. This modification has an electronic origin, where surface‐oxygen‐loss induced Co reduction that favors tetrahedral site causes damaging spinel...

Li- and Mn-rich layered oxides (LMRs) have emerged as practically feasible cathode materials for high-energy-density Li-ion batteries due to their extra anionic redox behavior market competitiveness. However, sluggish kinetics regions (<3.5 V vs Li/Li+ ) associated with chemistry engender LMRs chemical irreversibility (first-cycle irreversibility, poor rate properties, voltage fading), which limits practical use. Herein, the structural origin of this is revealed through a comparative study...
Abstract In recent years, Li‐ and Mn‐rich layered oxides (LMRs) have been vigorously explored as promising cathodes for next‐generation, Li‐ion batteries due to their high specific energy. Nevertheless, actual implementation is still far from a reality since the trade‐off relationship between particle size chemical reversibility prevents LMRs achieving satisfactory, industrial energy density. To solve this material dilemma, herein, novel morphological structural design introduced Li 1.11 Mn...
