Layering the charge Layered metal oxides such as lithium cobalt oxide have attracted great attention for rechargeable batteries. In cells, only octahedral structure forms, but in sodium trigonal prismatic structures are also possible. However, there is a lack of understanding about how to predict and control formation each structure. Zhao et al. used simple properties ions, namely their radius appropriately weighted by stoichiometry, determine whether interlayers between transition or other...
