Highlights
• Clarifies the difference between reversible oxygen redox and irreversible O₂ release in Li- and Mn-rich layered cathodes
• Explains how O₂ evolution drives structural degradation and voltage fade
• Proposes metrics and operando tools to distinguish beneficial oxygen redox from harmful reactions
• Summarizes design rules to decouple oxygen redox from O₂ release, including:
– bulk composition & Mn valence control
– surface/interface engineering
– electrolyte optimization
Impact
This work provides a clear mechanistic framework and practical guidelines for developing high-capacity, long-life lithium-ion batteries, accelerating progress toward next-generation energy storage technologies.
