Nature Energy, Published online: 03 September 2024; doi:10.1038/s41560-024-01628-1Nickel-rich lithium-ion cathode materials face severe structural and interfacial instabilities when cycled at high potentials and high degrees of delithiation. Now, a LiNi0.8Mn0.1Co0.1O2 material with a complementary composition and structure gradient, composed of an ordered,...

Nature Energy, Published online: 26 August 2024; doi:10.1038/s41560-024-01583-xOxygen evolution is a critical reaction in the context of renewable fuel production via (photo)electrochemical approaches, yet our understanding of the molecular details of the reaction is limited. Here, the authors explore how specific spectroscopic probes and theory can...

Nature Energy, Published online: 26 August 2024; doi:10.1038/s41560-024-01616-5High-entropy oxides offer potential for high-performance battery cathodes due to their broad compositional space. The authors present a design approach showing that 3d-compatible elements in O3-type Na-ion batteries reduce lattice strain and ion migration, enhancing structural...
