Recently, the mixed transition metal oxides of the form Li(Ni1-y-zCoyMnz)O2, have become the center of attention as promising candidates for novel battery material. These materials have also revealed very interesting magnetic properties due…
Spatially-resolved neutron powder diffraction with gauge volume 2x2x20 mm3 has been applied to probe the lithium concentration in the graphite anode of different Li-ion cells of 18650-type in situ in charged state. Structural studies…
In the context of the development of NMR Fermi contact shift calculations for assisting structural characterization of battery materials, we propose an accurate, efficient, and robust approach based on the use of an all electron method. The…
We investigate the distribution of the lithium abundances, A(Li), of metal-poor dwarf and subgiant stars within the limits 5500 K < Teff < 6700 K, -6.0 < [Fe/H] < -1.5, and logg > ~3.5 (a superset of parameters first adopted by Spite and…
Developing high-performance cathode materials for magnesium-ion batteries (MIBs) remains challenging because Mg$^{2+}$ ions move slowly, and conventional materials exhibit low voltage outputs. In this study, machine learning and…
We report the synthesis of Y-substituted Mg-Zn ferrites using conventional standard ceramic technique. XRD patterns confirm the single phase cubic spinel structure up to x = 0.03 and appearance of a secondary phase of YFeO3for higher Y…
Nanoscale particles embedded in a metallic matrix are of considerable interest as a route towards identifying and tailoring material properties. We present a detailed investigation of the electronic structure, and in particular the Fermi…
Muon spin spectroscopy ($\mu^+$SR) is now an established method to measure atomic scale diffusion coefficients of ions in oxides. This is achieved via the ion hopping rate, which causes periodic change in the local magnetic field at the…
Transition-metal compounds pose serious challenges to first-principles calculations based on density-functional theory (DFT), due to the inability of most approximate exchange-correlation functionals to capture the localization of valence…
Accurate identification of chemical phases associated with the electrode and solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) is critical for understanding and controlling interfacial degradation mechanisms in lithium containing battery systems. To study…
We compile data and machine learned models of solid Li-ion electrolyte performance to assess the state of materials discovery efforts and build new insights for future efforts. Candidate electrolyte materials must satisfy several…
We report a comprehensive first-principles study of the thermodynamics and transport of intrinsic point defects in layered oxide cathode materials LiMO$_2$ (M=Co, Ni), using density-functional theory and the Heyd-Scuseria-Ernzerhof screened…
Selecting materials for hybrid cathodes for batteries, which combine intercalation and conversion materials, has gained interest due to their unique synergistic properties, which are not achievable by homogeneous materials. Here, we present…
The choice of cathode material in Li-ion batteries (LIBs) underpins their overall performance. Discovering new cathode materials is a slow process, and all major commercial cathode materials are still based on those identified in the 1990s.…

Layered LiMnO$_2$ and Li$_2$MnO$_3$ are of great interest for lithium-ion battery cathodes because of their high theoretical capacities. The practical application of these materials is, however, limited due to poor electrochemical…
Detailed understanding of solid-solid interface structure-function relations is critical for the improvement and wide deployment of all solid-state batteries. The interfaces between lithium phosphorous oxynitride ("LiPON") solid electrolyte…
