Strategic Objectives
• Master the crystallography of high-delithiation states to prevent material degradation.
• Implement advanced doping strategies to stabilize transition metal layers.
• Understand the mechanics of oxygen evolution to enhance battery safety.
• Explore the frontier of high-voltage cathode materials for next-generation EVs.
The Core Challenge
Pushing lithium-ion batteries above 4.5V often leads to catastrophic structural collapse and hazardous oxygen evolution.
