Disordered rocksalt Li-excess (DRX) compounds are attractive new cathode materials for Li-ion batteries as they contain resource-abundant metals and do not require the use of cobalt or nickel. Understanding the delithiation process and…
Disordered rocksalt (DRX) Li3V2O5 is a promising candidate for anode in rechargeable lithium-ion batteries because of its ideal low voltage, high rate capability, and superior cycling stability. Herein, we presents a comprehensive study of…
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…
Traditional approaches to identify ion-transport pathways often presume equal probability of occupying all hopping sites and focus entirely on finding the lowest migration barrier channels between them. Although this strategy has been…
Crystal structures play a vital role in determining materials properties. In Li-ion cathodes, the crystal structure defines the dimensionality and connectivity of interstitial sites, thus determining Li-ion diffusion kinetics. While a…
Mn-rich disordered rocksalt (DRX) cathode materials exhibit a phase transformation from a disordered to a partially disordered spinel-like structure ($\delta$-phase) during electrochemical cycling. In this computational study, we used…
Cation-disordered solids offer a rich chemical landscape where local coordination, lattice responses, and configurational disorder collectively, yet often implicitly, govern ion transport. In cation-disordered rocksalt oxides, Li+ diffusion…
