A main source of capacity fading in lithium-ion batteries is the degradation of the active cathode materials caused by the series of volume changes during charge and discharge cycles. The quaternary colquiriite-type fluorides…
Describing Li-ion battery positive electrodes in terms of distinct transition metal or oxygen redox regimes can lead to confusion in understanding metal-ligand hybridisation, oxygen dimerisation, and degradation. There is a pressing need to…
It is widely believed that the origin of a significant cause for the voltage and capacity fading observed in lithium (Li)-ion batteries is related to structural modifications occurring in the cathode material during the Li-ion…
Although LiNiO$_2$ is chemically similar to LiCoO$_2$ and offers a nearly identical theoretical capacity, LiNiO$_2$ and related Co-free Ni-rich cathode materials suffer from degradation during electrochemical cycling that has prevented…
Li-CO$_2$ batteries are promising energy storage systems due to their high theoretical energy density and CO$_2$ fixation capability, relying on reversible Li$_2$CO$_3$/C formation during discharge/charge cycles. We present a multiscale…
The present work reviews the charge compensation in Ni based layered oxides (LiNi1-xMexO2 with x <= 0.2, Me = Co, Mn, space group R-3m) relating performance parameters to changes in the electronic and crystallographic structure of the…
The search for an alternative high-voltage polyanionic cathode material for Li-ion batteries is vital to improve the energy densities beyond the state-of-the-art, where sulfate frameworks form an important class of high-voltage cathode…

Li2FeSiO4 is an important alternative cathode for next generation Li-ion batteries due to its high theoretical capacity (330 mA h/g). However, its development has faced significant challenges arising from structural complexity and poor…
Newly designed Li-ion battery cathode materials with high capacity and greater flexibility in chemical composition will be critical for the growing electric vehicles market. Cathode structures with cation disorder were once considered…
Lithium-rich antiperovskite promise to be a compelling high-capacity cathode material due to existence of both cationic and anionic redox activity. Little is however known about the effect of separating the electrochemical cationic from the…
It is shown that continuously occurring electrolyte-reduction reaction on freshly-exposed electrode surfaces during lithiation/delithiation cycles causes the lowering of cycling efficiency, and hence, capacity fade in well-cycled silicon…
Defects and their interactions in crystalline solids often underpin material properties and functionality as they are decisive for stability, result in enhanced diffusion, and act as a reservoir of vacancies. Recently, lithium-rich layered…
The participation of oxygen or other anionic species in redox activities in cathode materials for lithium and sodium-ion battery systems is known to play a role in governing the useful capacity of these batteries. Directly probing anionic…
Energy density limitations of layered oxides with different Ni contents, i.e., of the conventional cathode materials in Li-ion batteries, are investigated across the first discharge cycle using advanced spectroscopy and state-of-the-art…
Among the 'beyond Li-ion' battery chemistries, nonaqueous Li-O$_2$ batteries have the highest theoretical specific energy and as a result have attracted significant research attention over the past decade. A critical scientific challenge…
Understanding the basic physics related to archetypal lithium battery material (such as LiCo$_y$Mn$_{2-y}$O$_{4}$) is of considerable interest and is expected to aid designing of cathodes of high capacity. The relation between…
