Summary: Li-Rich layered oxide (LLO) cathode materials are considered promising for large scale applications due to their high specific capacities. In electric vehicles, electrode materials with high energy density and rate capability are required. The cycling rate affects the activation, structure, and Li-ion diffusion of materials, significantly impacting their cycling stability.

Summary: The study highlights the significant improvement in the performance of Lithium-ion battery with non-uniform particle distribution, especially during ultra-fast charging. Additionally, the capacity and specific power of the cell are found to be maximum when particle size decreases along the electrode length.

Summary: This study focuses on the impact of changing electrolyte composition on the performance of lithium-ion batteries under extreme fast charging conditions. Molecular dynamics studies were conducted to estimate transport properties at different salt concentrations, and molecular-level differences in solvent structure under extreme LiPF6 concentrations were explored, highlighting key aspects that help overcome barriers to Li+ transport during extreme fast charging.

Summary: This paper explores the safety of Li-ion batteries by studying the behavior of aged and overcharged cells, finding that they exhibit early onset of self-heating compared to unaged cells. The novel ARC-MS setup used in the study allows for tracking both electrochemical and thermal behavior simultaneously.
