TL;DR: The use of lithiated redox organic molecules containing electrochemically active C=O functionalities, such as lithiated oxocarbon salts, is proposed to represent alternative electrode materials to those used in current Li-ion battery technology that can be synthesized from renewable starting materials.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that even well-ordered cation layers may show only weak or no superstructure reflections, if there is no or little ordering in the c-direction.

TL;DR: In this article, the overcapacity mechanism and high voltage process of the Li-excess electrode material Li[Li1/9Ni1/3Mn5/9]O2 are studied by solid-state NMR, X-ray diffraction, Xray absorption spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, combined with galvanostatic and potentiostatic intermittent titration electrochemical measurements.

TL;DR: The structural transformations that occur when FeF(3) is cycled at room temperature in a Li cell were investigated using a combination of X-ray diffraction, pair distribution function (PDF) analysis, and magic-angle-spinning NMR spectroscopy, which indicated local structures that are similar to the intercalation phases seen during the first stage of the discharge process.

TL;DR: In this article, only 2% (by weight) functional conductive polymer binder without any conductive additives was successfully used with a micron-size silicon monoxide (SiO) anode material, demonstrating stable and high gravimetric capacity (>1000 mAh/g) for ∼500 cycles and more than 90% capacity retention.
