Abstract

EXAFS. These results highlight that oxygen vacancy mobility during cycling dominates the effects of the initial structural order, where different types of defects are present, and plays a decisive role in governing redox pathways and cycling stability. The selection of the precursor allows tailoring introduction of these defects without postsynthesis treatment. This study provides a comprehensive framework for designing high-performance Li- and Mn-rich layered oxide cathodes by tuning synthesis chemistry to engineer beneficial structural disorder and defect dynamics.
