Toward Cost-Effective High-Energy Lithium-Ion Battery Cathodes: Covalent Bond Formation Empowers Solid-State Oxygen Redox in Antifluorite-Type Lithium-Rich Iron Oxide
Abstract
Affordable and high-energy lithium-ion batteries are pivotal for advances in sustainability. To this end, antifluorite-type Li5FeO4 cathodes have recently gained attention due to their cost-effectiveness and theoretical capacity exceeding 300 mAh g–1. Notably, metastable cubic Li5FeO4 has achieved a reversible capacity of 346 mAh g–1, utilizing cationic iron and anionic oxygen redox reactions. However, the cyclability of solid-state oxygen redox in this system is hindered by concurrent, irreversible, and simultaneous evolution of the O2 gas evolution. In this study, we enhance the cyclability through….
