Description
Yi-Chen Wu leads an eight-author team tracing how a manganese-rich battery cathode changes structure during processing, in a paper published in two thousand twenty-six. Disordered rocksalt cathodes promise high capacity for lithium-ion batteries. How cation disorder develops under mechanical activation was poorly understood.
Their material mixes lithium, manganese, molybdenum, oxygen, and fluorine. Co-doping first drives it into a mixed zigzag layered and phenakite structure. Milling then reconstructs that phase locally into disordered rocksalt. The change converts a two-phase redox process into a stable single-phase one. Reversible capacity reached 297.9 milliamp-hours per gram. Comparisons across the series show how disorder reshapes lithium transport pathways.
