Front Cover: Understanding the Temperature–Induced Decomposition of Commercial Nickel–Cobalt–Aluminum Oxide (LiNi 0.8 Co 0.15 Al 0.05 O 2 ) Electrodes (Batteries & Supercaps 11/2025)

Abstract: The Front Cover depicts the structural degradation of commercial 18650-type lithium-ion battery cathodes that occurs at elevated temperatures. It illustrates the transition path from a well-ordered layered structure (shown in blue) to a spinel intermediate (represented in green), and finally to a rock salt phase (indicated in red). The colour gradient highlights how phase evolution occurs under thermal stress, emphasising the critical role temperature plays in driving structural instability and performance loss in modern Li-ion batteries.
