| Abstract Scope |
Decarbonizing transportation, grid and industries require low-cost batteries made from abundant, environmentally friendly, sustainable elements in the critical minerals supply chain. To this regard, Mn-rich sodium-ion battery cathodes are particularly interesting. However, the practical use of these materials is inhibited by their structural instability upon deep desodiation. In this talk, we demonstrate how insights from advanced computational (both ground and excited state) experimental (x-ray scattering and electron microscopy) techniques are used in tandem 1) to prevent structural disorder during deep desodiation via thermodynamic and kinetic control and 2) to develop environmentally sustainable cathodes. |
