Abstract All‐Mn‐based Li‐rich cathodes Li 2 MnO 3 have attracted extensive attention because of their cost advantage and ultrahigh theoretical capacity. However, the unstable anionic redox reaction (ARR), which involves irreversible oxygen releases, causes declines in cycling capacity intercalation potential, thus hindering practical applications. Here, it is proposed that introducing stacking‐fault defects into can localize lattice evolutions stabilize ARR, eliminating releases. The...
Due to a high energy density, layered transition‐metal oxides have gained much attention as the promising sodium‐ion batteries cathodes. However, they readily suffer from multiple phase transitions during Na extraction process, resulting in large lattice strains which are origin of cycled‐structure degradations. Here, we demonstrate that Na‐storage can be reduced by pushing charge transfer on anions (O 2− ). Specifically, designed O3‐type Ru‐based model compound, shows an increased anions,...
