Oxygen Uptake: Lithium/Oxygen Incorporation and Microstructural Evolution during Synthesis of Li‐Rich Layered Li[Li0.2Ni0.2Mn0.6]O2 Oxides (Adv. Energy Mater. 8/2019)

In article number 1803094, Björn Schwarz, Xiushan Yang, Xiaodong Guo, Shulei Chou, Sylvio Indris and co-workers describe the transformation processes (from spinel to rock-salt to layered structure) observed during synthesis of Li-rich Co-free layered oxides that are used as cathode materials for Li-ion batteries, on a single particle. These processes are driven by incorporation of Li and O into the Li-free precursor.
