Abstract
Lithium-Ion Batteries
In article number 2404193, Jongsoon Kim, Jihyun Hong, and co-workers reveal a hidden surface degradation mechanism in layered oxide cathodes for lithium-ion batteries. Reduction-induced side reactions at the cathode-electrolyte interface, such as rocksalt phase formation, oxygen loss, and electrolyte decomposition, occurring at a relatively high potential of ∼3 V (vs. Li/Li+) during lithiation are identified. This challenges the conventional view, which has focused solely on oxidation-driven degradation.
期刊介绍:
Established in 2011, Advanced Energy Materials is an international, interdisciplinary, English-language journal that focuses on materials used in energy harvesting, conversion, and storage. It is regarded as a top-quality journal alongside Advanced Materials, Advanced Functional Materials, and Small.
With a 2022 Impact Factor of 27.8, Advanced Energy Materials is considered a prime source for the best energy-related research. The journal covers a wide range of topics in energy-related research, including organic and inorganic photovoltaics, batteries and supercapacitors, fuel cells, hydrogen generation and storage, thermoelectrics, water splitting and photocatalysis, solar fuels and thermosolar power, magnetocalorics, and piezoelectronics.
The readership of Advanced Energy Materials includes materials scientists, chemists, physicists, and engineers in both academia and industry. The journal is indexed in various databases and collections, such as Advanced Technologies & Aerospace Database, FIZ Karlsruhe, INSPEC (IET), Science Citation Index Expanded, Technology Collection, and Web of Science, among others.
