The fine line between a two-phase and solid-solution phase transformation and highly mobile phase interfaces in spinel Li4+xTi5O12

In our recent paper  we computationally explored the atomic scale mechanism that governs the (dis)charging (lithiation and delithiation) of the defective spinel Li4+xTi5O12 structure, a state of the art anode material for Li-ion batteries.  Although well studied and widely used commercially, the nature of the phase transition of Li4+xTi5O12 and the role of interfaces raises … Continue reading The fine line between a two-phase and solid-solution phase transformation and highly mobile phase interfaces in spinel Li4+xTi5O12
